Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is catalytic converter production, selective catalytic reduction, 200 litre. The Reference Product is catalytic converter, selective catalytic reduction, 200 litre. This is an infrastructure, representing the product of a catalytic converter, selective catalytic reduction (SCR). The infrastructure has a capacity of 200 liters. During production, the effective surfaces are coated with approximately 1.5 g (catalyst) per liter (catalysator), whereby for SCR catalysts - assumed here - titanium dioxide is used. During production, the catalyst is heated for approx. 5 hours at 300 °C in an electrically heated air stream. This requires 2 kW of electrical power per liter of catalyst volume is required. The lifespan is assumed to be 20000 operating hours. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity.
