Diesel (desulfurised gas oil)

Middle-distillate hydrocarbons distilling between 180 and 380 degC (IPCC 2006 Vol. 2, chapter 1, Table 1.1) after hydrodesulfurisation (about 10 mg/kg S); composition by crude and unit. No composition recorded yet: one goes in only with its source (docs/registry.md, Fuel mixtures). hydrotreating-1 models it as C470H897 in its own dataset (ASSUMED, not a registry value).

Routes compared

One route in the Atlas makes Diesel (desulfurised gas oil): nothing to compare yet. A comparison appears when a second route is added.

Per 1 kg of Diesel (desulfurised gas oil): inventory from each route's LCI dataset, unallocated; footprints per the functional unit of their own LCA.

ISO 14044 requires a critical review (by a panel of interested parties, ISO/TS 14071) of a comparative assertion intended to be disclosed to the public. These routes are listed side by side for screening; a statement that one is better than another needs that review. None of these routes has had such a review.
