Petrochemical carbon contents
[edit / update model]
The category at /business/processes/production/petrochemical/massbalance/carboncontent contains data on the carbon contents of feedstocks, products and by-products relating to the petrochemical industry. The category used by The category /business/processes/production/petrochemical/massbalance as reference for default carbon content values. The data is sourced from volumes 2 and 3 of the IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (NGGIP).
The petrochemical materials are sourced from Volume 3, Chapter 3 which focuses on greenhouse gas emissions associated with the chemical industry.
Several of the fuel types are taken from Volume 2, Chapter 1 which focuses on energy production and consumption and provides data for a comprehensive list of fuels. The mass-based carbon contents found in this category, were derived from the documented energy-based carbon content (kg per GJ) and energy per mass (i.e. 'net calorific value'; TJ per Gg) data.
This category cannot be used to create profile items.
