Hardwood poles {AU}| | AusLCI, U
Unit process Australia v00.00.001
Included processes:Process begins with the input of hardwood production and and ends with the supply of hardwood poles. Remark: This is an economically allocated process for hardwood poles which is a coproduct of hardwood production which produces high-quality sawlogs, low quality sawlogs, pulp logs, veneer logs and poles .The data is averaged across four regions. The input of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is included to correct the carbon imbalance caused by the economic allocation. Geography: Refers to an average production in the Australia. Technology: Average Time period: Data collected for 2006 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: Tim Grant Telephone: 0061 408104977; E-mail: tim@lifecycles.com.au; Company: LCS; Country: AU
