Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is ferroniobium production, from pyrochlore concentrate, 66% Nb. The reference product is ferroniobium, 66% Nb. (FeNb) is a ferrous alloy that is produced mostly through alumithermic processing of the pyrochlore concentrate (the worlds leading mineral for niobium production). Ferroniobium is the primary consumed product of niobium. It is typically consumed in the production of high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
