Reference product: agricultural machinery, unspecified [kg]
Location: CH - Switzerland
This dataset represents the production of general agricultural machinery. Representatives of this class are for example: seeder, hoe or self-loading trailer. Calculations are made with a mean machinery of 1000 kg, 1000 hours lifetime and 0.54 repair factor. For exact results, module should only be used if lifetime and repair factor of the balanced machinery are within a narrow range of the values the module is based on. The functional unit is 1kg machinery during its lifetime.
[The full documentation of this dataset was originally provided in the corresponding ecoinvent report from the Swiss Centre for Life Cycle Inventories, which is accessible for free to guests and users of ecoinvent version 2 (https://www.ecoinvent.org/login-databases.html). The dataset may subsequently have been subjected to central changes to the database, as described in the respective change report for each new release.]
[This dataset has been generated using the system model "Allocation, cut-off by classification". A system model describes how activity datasets are linked to form product systems. The allocation cut-off system model subdivides multi-product activities by allocation, based on a physical properties, economic, mass or other properties. By-products of waste treatment processes are cut-off, as are all by-products classified as recyclable. Markets in this model include all activities in proportion to their current production volume.
Version 3 of the ecoinvent database offers three system models to choose from. For more information, please visit: https://www.ecoinvent.org/database/system-models-in-ecoinvent-3/system-…)]
