Data for emissions to air is from: -National Greenhouse Accounts (NGA) Factors July 2018, Department of the Environment and Energy, Commonwealth of Australia, 2018, accessed from https://www.environment.gov.au/system/files/resources/80f603e7-175b-4f97-8a9b-2d207f46594a/files/national-greenhouse-accounts-factors-july-2018.pdf on 08/07/2019. -National Pollutant Inventory emission estimation technique manual for combustion in boilers Version 3.6 December 2011, Department of Sustainability, Environment, Watert, Population and Communities, Commonwealth of Australia, 2011, accessed from http://www.npi.gov.au/system/files/resources/afa15a7a-2554-c0d4-7d0e-d466b2fb5ead/files/combustion-engines.pdf on 08/07/2019. The inputs from the technosphere are un-modified versions of ecoinvent 2.2 unit processes, however upstream processes are linked to Australian data from the AusLCI database so the calculated result will differ from ecoinvent 2.2.
