Coal, mining | production | consequential
Scope & method
This dataset represents the lifecycle inventory from the beginning of coal mining (from cradle-to-gate), ending with loading of raw coal. It includes all activities related to raw coal production, but excludes coal washing processes, as well as the production of equipment such as conveyors and mining vehicles, and direct or indirect greenhouse gas emissions from personnel travel and daily office activities during the coal production process. The dataset is formed based on the national standards such as the Cleaner production standard Coal mining and processing industry(HJ 446-2008), the Pollutant Emission Standard for Coal Industry, the Environmental quality standard for soils , etc., by consolidating data from multiple sources. It represents the average production level in the southwestern region.
