7289c94e-cc7b-4262-b391-35e12fa2c6a3Bituminous coal, combusted in industrial boiler, at pulp and paper mill (EXCL.)Materials productionOther materialsThis process was built to be used within the processes named "Fuels burned at bleached kraft market pulp mill", "Fuels burned at uncoated freesheet paper mill", "Fuels burned at coated freesheet paper mill", "Fuels burned at uncoated mechanical paper mill", "Fuels burned at coated mechanical paper mill" and "Fuels burned at bag and sack paper mill". It was built from the process named "Bituminous coal, combusted in industrial boiler" v.1.6 available in the US LCI database. Transport and waste processes were removed. The following emissions to air were excluded (excl.): Sulfur oxidesand Nitrogen oxides. These processes and emissions are reported in pulp and paper mill process chain in which this process is integrated.
In cases where industrial boiler data were not available, utility boiler data were adjusted accordingly., 100% inputs from technosphere and elementary flows allocated to the combustion of coal, and 0% to the production of ash and flue gas desulfurization sludge
Important note: although most of the data in the US LCI database has
undergone some sort of review, the database as a whole has not yet
undergone a formal validation process.
