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 geothermal power plant Hot-Dry-Rock. The system is also known as Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) and it is used to explote Earth's interior heat outside known geothermal provinces. The infrastructure represents a plant with three deep boreholes with depths between 5000 m and 6000 m that has a flow rate of 224 m3/h a land area of 7 500m2 and a lifetime of 20 years. The process includes all materials necessary to construct it infrastructure and energy used in the machinery during the construction. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
