Hi,
I was just wondering that are the emissions resulting from burning the natural gas included when I select "Natural gas, high pressure {FI} | market for"?
THere is a list of emissions to air included in the list, but from the system boundary I got the impression this is just from leakages etc.
If it is not included, is there a process I can select that would include all emissions from burning the natural gas?
With kind regards,
Natasha
Dear Natasha,
Thank you for your question. You are looking at a market activity. A market dataset collects all activities with the same reference product in a certain geographical region. Furthermore, it includes average transports of that product within the geography, as well as inputs of the product itself to cover losses in trade and transport. In other words, they are consumption mixes of a certain product in a certain geographical region. Have a look at this FAQ as well.
To find a dataset, which burns natural gas, have a look at our activity overview. You can filter by processes (“activity name”) or products (“product name”), ISIC and CPC classification, geographies and more. In the tab “Intermediate exchanges” you can also filter for CAS number and synonyms.
