Refers to foam glass of a density of 110 kg/m3 and a thermal conductivity of 0.040 W/mK.
This dataset is based on the dataset for "foam glass production", adjusting the cullet input to zero, with consequences for the input of raw materials (feldspar, lime and soda), the electricity input (for melting) and the CO2 emissions (resulting from decarbonisation of the raw materials), based on data from flatt glass production and "EU commission 2012: Best Available Techniques (BAT) Reference Document for the Manufacture of Glass)"
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.
