Harvest and haulout, burnt cane {AU}| | AusLCI, U
Unit process Australia v00.00.000
Included processes: Data includes the harvest and haulout of cane to the transport siding. Remark: This inventory has been developed as part of the AusAgLCI initiative funded by a partnership of Australian Research and Development Corporations (RIRDC, CRDC, GRDC, SRDC, HAL, MLA, DA, FWPA) and Research Agencies (CSIRO, USQ and Q DAFF), with technical support from Life Cycle Strategies. More detail on inventory development can be found in the 'AusAgLCI Methodology for developing Life Cycle Inventory' documents located at www.auslci.alcas.asn.au.Sugar losses during harvesting have not been reported for burnt cane harvesting. Geography: Refers to an average production in Australia. Technology: Average Time period: Data collected for 2012 Version: 1.0 Record: Data entry by: Tim Grant Telephone: 0061 408104977; E_mail: tim@lifecycles.com.au; Company: LCS; Country: AU Generator: Generator/publicator: Marguerite Renouf, Telephone:; E_mail: m.renouf@uq.edu.au; Company: The University of Queensland; Country: AU

| COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) | Emissions to water | river | 0.1456 | kg | Emissions of COD to surface water via runoff of sugar loss during green cane harvesting. Derived from measured losses of sugar (kg/t cane harvested) during harvesting (Whiteing et al., 200?), and assumptions about the frequency of rainfall after harvesting, assumptions about the fraction that is actually lost, and the theoretical COD:sucrose ratio (van Haandel and van der Lubbe, 2011). |
