General comment on data set The inventory was prepared from primary data. The briquetting matrix has a manual feed chamber for the fines (80%) and corn starch (10%). In successive stages, these products are mixed in a cylindrical chamber with a water feeding device (10%). The mixing is done mechanically. After that, the mixture goes to the compression chamber, where it is pressed in the extruder, in order to obtain the plasticity, consistency and cylindrical shape of the briquette with a central hole.

Time representativeness
Data set valid until 2030
Time representativeness description Technology is the most common found in operation. Projected to be in use for at least another 10 years. On-site collection in the year 2020. All calculations were made in 2020-2021. Kraft Kraft Paper data comes from EcoInvent v3.5 database. These specific flows are not available in the ILCD database, hence its use is suggested to ensure completeness of environmentally relevant material/energy flows.
Technological representativeness
Technology description including background system Briquettes production by means of a high pressure extruder, approximately 2000 kg/cm².
LCI method and allocation
Type of data set Unit process, black box
LCI Method Principle Other
Deviation from LCI method principle / explanations None
Modelling constants All the data used in the calculation refer to the screening of the charcoal fines to reach the production of 1 kg of Charcoal Fines Briquettes
Data sources, treatment and representativeness
Data cut-off and completeness principles All relevant mass and energy flows are included in the inventory; no specific cut-off rule is applied. Infrastructure is not included.
Deviation from data cut-off and completeness principles / explanations None.
Data selection and combination principles The data is based on a Charcoal Packaging Unit (CPU) located in the Campos Gerais region of Paraná.
Deviation from data selection and combination principles / explanations None.
Data treatment and extrapolations principles There are no missing data other than those that were not considered within the studies and scored as suggested, according to the Qualidata Guide.
