Inventory for regional market of refined petroleum product, encompassing the distribution to the final consumer (household, road vehicle, power plant, etc.) including all necessary transports. This regional market activity was created as a copy of the corresponding datasets for Europe without Switzerland in ecoinvent v3.4 (2017). The type and amount of all exchanges have been left unmodified, but the uncertainty information has been adjusted accordingly. The original dataset was already contained in the ecoinvent database version 2, and it was not individually updated during the transfer to ecoinvent version 3.
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.
