Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.8. Ferrochrome is an alloy of chromium and iron, containing 50% to 70% of chromiuim by weight: Refractory grade ore (>60% Cr), Metallurgical grade ore (> 46% Cr), Chemical grade ore (40% > Cr < 46%). Ferrochrome is also classified by the ratio of chrome to carbon it contains: high carbon grade or Charge Chrome has a Cr:C ratio of 3-8% and it is most commonly produced in South Africa for use in stainless steel production. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
