- Unspecified water flows are converted to fresh water emissions (worst case approach)
- Valuable substances flows which were still used as placeholder data were deleted in the inventory in consultation with AWC, as well the placeholder flows “Feedstock (biomass)” and “energy, in by-product” were deleted.
- The matching of the renewable flows could not implemented perfectly due to different definitions of the primary energy (net and gross calorific heat value)
- Land use flows (hemeroby) were deleted in the inventory in consultation with AWC
- Unspecified emission flows were deleted, e.g. “emissions unspecified to air” since no characterization could be allocated to them.Cradle to Gate Life Cycle Assessment of U.S. Medium Density Fiberboard ProductionA Cradle-to-Gate LCA of Canadian Medium Density Fiberboard95.0original data: 2005 - 2009, updated 2013The data set represents a cradle to gate inventory.
