Heat, for district heating, Norwegian production mix, at plant

Reference flow

1 kWh

 

System boundaries

Production mix of district heat in Norway in 2021, based on information on energy carriers from Norsk Fjernvarme. The activity starts with acquisition of energy carriers, i.e., waste reception at gate, acquisition and transport of fossil oil and gas, harvesting and transport of woody biomass, and production, transformation from high to low voltage and transmission of electricity. The activity stops at district heat production facility (i.e. distribution is not included).

 

Use advice of the dataset

This dataset represents the district heat production mix in Norway in the year 2021. Data on heat production and share of different energy carriers are collected from www.fjernkontrollen.no. ecoinvent 3.8 allocation, cut-off by classification is used for the background data. 

 

 

Technology description

Average technology for production and transmission of electricity in Norway. Heat from the other sources based on average European technologies. One technology is selected to represent each category of energy carriers. For fuel oil, light fuel oil is selected. For ambient heat, heat pump is selected. For bioenergy, wood logs combustion is used as representative technology.

NorEnviro er etablert i regi av NORSUS og NMBU og har som mål å øke bruk og gjenbruk av LCA-data. Dette gjennom å tilrettelegge for at LCA-data fra flere FOU- miljøer og bedrifter blir tilgjengeliggjort.

LCA-data blir brukt i LCA studier for å analysere miljøpåvirkninger av produkter, produktsystemer og tjenester. Dataene er publisert som en inventar (for LCA eksperter) eller som en LCA resultat (for bedrifter)

SØK I LCA-DATA

NorEnviro skal også være en arena som brukere og kunder av miljø- og ressursdata oppsøker for å finne frem til og få tilgang til data og kompetanse, og dermed gjøre det lettere å finne frem i jungelen av miljø- og ressursdata.
