Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is wood chips production, softwood, at sawmill. The reference product is wood chips, wet, measured as dry mass. The product wood chips, wet, measured as dry mass represent wood chips produced from residual wood (slab and sidings) and logs at the sawmill site as well as wood chips produced in forestry activities. The weight is expressed as dry mass. Wood chips are produced by chopping larger pieces of softwood or hardwood into chips. Wood chips, wet, measured as dry mass are produced with a stationary electric chipper (at the sawmill), with a mobile chipper (at forest road), or with a diesel terrain chipper (in the stand). Wood chips, wet are mostly used as wood fuel. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
