Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. The product 'tetrahydrofuran' is an organic substance with a CAS no. : 000109-99-9. It is called '1 4-Epoxybutane' under IUPAC naming and its molecular formula is: C4H8O. It is liquid under normal conditions of temperature and pressure with an ether-like odor. It is modelled as a pure substance. Modelling this substance in a solution requires the user to add the solvent of their choice in their models. On a consumer level is used in the following products: adhesives and sealants coating products washing & cleaning products anti-freeze products fillers putties plasters modelling clay finger paints and lubricants and greases. On industrial sites the substance is used for the manufacture of products in the following sectors: formulation of mixtures and/or re-packaging chemicals. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.

Emission intensity of the supply chain per Canadian dollar spent on: basic organic chemicals. Retrieved from the OpenIO-Canada v2.9 model which is a Canadian Environmentally Extended Input-Output (EEIO) model. The emission factor is provided in purchaser price including taxes retail margins and distribution costs. Endogenization is included meaning the emission factor also accounts for capital goods.
