Data quality: Cut-off criteria:

The declared unit is 1000 kg DM of ethanol 96 %, including

1000 km of transport to customer. Transportation to customer

(A4) has been corrected to account for the burden of

transporting water.

Water 42 kg 4 %

Data on consumption of natural resources, energy carriers and

chemicals, and production amount are specific for Borregaard.

Data collected for 2014. For upstream processes, some data are

specific (five raw materials/chemicals). For the remaining, generic

data from Ecoinvent 3.0 or, when equal products could not be

found, proxy data for similar products have been used (Weidema et

al. 2013). See Chapter 2.4 in Modahl and Soldal (2016) for details.

Ethanol

The system boundaries include extraction, transportion and

processing of natural resources, manufacturing of the

product and transportation of the product 1000 km by typical

transportation modes. The system boundaries are described

in more detail in Modahl and Soldal (2016).

kg

All major raw materials and all the essential energy are

included. See Chapter 2.4.2 in Modahl and Soldal

(2016) for details.

The hemicellulose from Scandinavian spruce has been

Borregaards raw material since the start in 1938. Our ethanol

has gained popularity during the last years through the

emergence of the biofuel market and today we are delivering to

both technical, pharmaceutical and fuel applications in Europe.

*Here the product content is given on wet basis as sold to

customer. However, the data and results in this EPD are

given per ton dry matter (DM).

The allocation is made in accordance with the provisions of ISO

14025. Allocation has as far as possible, been avoided by

modelling the processes at Borregaard on a detailed level.

When allocation has been necessary, allocation based on

mass (DM) has been used. In processes with hot water as an

outflow and where the hot water is exploited in other processes,

the energy content has been calculated into mass through use

of the heat value for biological dry matter. See Chapter 2.5 in

Modahl and Soldal (2016) for details.

We have not used the additional models EUTREND (for EP)

and LOTUS-EUROS (for POCP). This EPD deviates from

the PCR regarding inclusion of energy used in office space.

All energy consumption has been reported collected, and

the energy used in office spaces are assumed to be

negligible compared to the energy used in production

processes.

In line with the PCR, 1000 km of transport to customer is included. The distribution among the transportion types are reported by

Borregaard, and is average for the product.

Assembly stage

A1

The life cycle stages A1-A3 are the most influential. Within these stages, production and transport of timber, wood chips and

chemicals are most important. Next, combustion of oil at the plant is important. The exception is for eutrophication, where other

processes are important due to emissions of COD. Further description of the results can be found in Modahl and Soldal (2016).
