Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is cooling energy, from natural gas, at cogen unit with absorption chiller 100kW. The reference product is cooling energy. Cooling energy describes a single stage absorption chiller operated with heat from a natural gas, 1.67 MJ heat from natural gas are turned into 1 MJ of cooling energy. It includes heat and water loss. The module also includes heat input from a 160kWel cogeneration unit, electricity and water needed for operation and infrastructure. The supply temperature of the chilled water is 6°C. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
