Emission factor summary

Emission intensity of polyurethane - rigid foam. Provided by the Integrated Carbon Metrics (ICM) Embodied Carbon Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) Database (ICM Database). Note: The CO2e value only takes into account CO2 CH4 and N2O. The CO2e values were calculated using the process method (no embodied GHG emissions from input-output processes are included). Data quality flag: Methodology - The source does not specify the IPCC AR version of GWPs used to calculate CO2e.
