Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is deep well closure, for geothermal power, onshore, 6000m. The reference product is deep well closure. This is delivering the service of closure of a disused deep onshore wells. The infrastructure represent a borehole of 6,000 m depth for geothermal power generation in an unspecific rock formation. A usage duration of 20 years is estimated, after which the well is filled with cement and gravel and sealed with a concrete slab. The process includes the materials needed for the closure but excludes the recuperation of the land use. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
