3.8 By thermal utilisation in an incinerator (MSWI), input specific credits for electricity and thermal energy, including taking element composition and calorific value into account, are considered in A3.Germany is the area of reference for the credited processes due to production locations. It can be assumed, that in terms of thermal energy used, the quality of the thermal energy by the incineration of waste is of equal value as the thermal energy to produce the product, whereby a credit is allowed in A3. Thermal utilisation is modelled for production waste.No assumptions were necessary as all primary product data was available.Cut-off rules3.4 All inputs that contribute to more than 1% of the total mass, energy or environmental effects of the system were included in the study.
