Description

Location: CA-QC - Canada, Québec
This dataset represents the use of rotary windrower for one hectare. The working width is 4.0 m (average).
None
Child dataset exchanges scaled from GLO parent dataset based on diesel consumption in Quebec. Created to proxy farm machinery/fieldwork representative of the Quebec context. Data quality indicators adjusted accordingly. Other difference with the parent dataset is the production volume, which now represents the production volume in Quebec.
Diesel consumption is calculated from primary data and models from the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) published in 2006 and might be representative of more recent technology than the GLO parent dataset.
Warning: If the parent value for diesel consumption (in the GLO parent dataset) is changed in future edition, the user must change the parameter "ecoinvent diesel consumption" accordingly in order to get the right ratio of qc/ecoinvent diesel consumption.
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.

Technology

Fuel consumption has been extrapolated to Quebec, but emissions per kg diesel were taken from the original values.
