General comment The dataset represents the production of polypropylene glycol (PPG)(707da) using a DMC catalyst for chemical industry. Since on-site data for manufacturing PPG (707 da) using a DMC catalyst is inaccessible, literature data were collected for application. The data provided in the literature are values designed based on patents and related references of companies producing polyester polyols such as BASF and Covestro. Using the Gabi software system, the foreground data have been combined with LCI models integrating Ecoinvent 3.9.1 LCI datasets on energy supply systems, ancillary processes, and waste treatment as background data. Therefore, the dataset covers all relevant process steps / technologies over the supply chain of the represented "cradle to gate" inventory with good overall data quality.
An independent expert group in Korea, composed of KRICT, has critically reviewed the entire LCI data profile including data consolidation, development for the various LCI models, and the calculation of associated LCI datasets. |
