Emission factor summary
The activity generating the emissions is natural gas production, liquefied. The Reference Product is natural gas, liquefied. Natural gas, liquefied is a fossil fuel, for which a generic gross calorific value (GCV) of 40MJ/m3, a net calorific value (NCV) of 36.0 MJ/m3 and a density of 0.735kg/m3 are applied, in line with the global statistics (referring to standard cubic meters, Sm3, measured at 15°C and 1013 mbar). That is, the reference flow refers to 1 standard cubic meter of natural gas in the gaseous state. At a density of 410-500 kg/m3, the volume of liquified natural gas is around 1/600th of the gaseous volume at standard conditions. Natural gas is liquefied for transportation and/or storage, and it is sourced from natural gas liquefaction plants. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity.
