This dataset was built as a weighted average of regional datasets of the same activityName. Weights are based on production volumes.
BR-BA: production volume = 1.26e+07 kg/year, weight = 0.4121
BR-MA: production volume = 4.19e+06 kg/year, weight = 0.1367
BR-ES: production volume = 3.69e+06 kg/year, weight = 0.1203
BR-MT: production volume = 3.29e+06 kg/year, weight = 0.1074
BR-PA: production volume = 3.02e+06 kg/year, weight = 0.09861
BR-TO: production volume = 2.06e+06 kg/year, weight = 0.06719
BR-GO: production volume = 1.19e+06 kg/year, weight = 0.0387
BR-PI: production volume = 5.79e+05 kg/year, weight = 0.0189
Undefined unit processes (UPRs) are the unlinked, multi-product activity datasets that form the basis for all of the system models available in the ecoinvent database. This is the way the datasets are obtained and entered into the database by the data providers. These activity datasets are useful for investigating the environmental impacts of a specific activity (gate-to-gate), without regard to its upstream or downstream impacts.
