Emission Factor
Inorganic potassium fertiliser - as k2o (market for inorganic potassium fertiliser - as K2O)
Emission factor summary
Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.8. Inorganic potassium fertiliser, as K2O' is an inorganic substance which is supplying the nutrient of Potassium to the plants. It is mostly solid under normal conditions of temperature and pressure. The product represents an equivalent form of Potassium that is present in the fertiliser and is expressed as a mass of pure potassium oxide (K2O). Based on EU regulations (REGULATION (EU) 2019/1009), if this substance would be used as fertiliser, the N-P-K can vary depending on the fertiliser. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is market activity. The reference product amount is 1.
