Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is market for inorganic nitrogen fertiliser, as N. The reference product is inorganic nitrogen fertiliser, as N. Inorganic nitrogen fertiliser, as N describes a substance which is supplying the nutrient of Nitrogen to plants. The product represents an equivalent form of Nitrogen that is present in the fertiliser and is expressed as a mass of pure nitrogen (N). The term "inorganic" refers to the source of nutrient being produced from chemical or artificial materials. Modelling this substance in a solution requires the user to add the solvent of their choice in their models. Based on EU regulations (REGULATION (EU) 2019/1009), when this substance is used as fertiliser, the N-P-K can vary depending on the fertiliser. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary market activity.
