This dataset represents the import of a refined petroleum products of unspecified geographical origin of supply to the domestic/regional market for this product. The transport requirements (expressed in tkm) with tanker ship was assumed to 10'000 km by sea by default. No product losses or other aspects, besides transport requirements have been included. The dataset is only a rough proxy with large uncertainties, and it should hence be revised accordingly if its contribution is expected to be important.
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.
