Emission factor summary

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. This is an immobile infrastructure representing the construction of a thermal storage system solar thermal parabolic trough 50 MW. The infrastructure represents a hot and cold two stage nitrate salt thermal storage system with a capacity of 50 MW that mainly consists of nitrogen pressure vessels storage tanks pumps pipes electrical wiring and insulation. The storage tanks are designed for 3-6 hour storage time while the heat storage capacity is 1 100 MW the lifetime capacity is 17 600 hours and the lifetime is 30 years. The process includes building materials their decommission energy and water consumption during the production and infrastructure. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
