Hydrocracked products (LPG to diesel range)

The C3 and heavier products of a vacuum gas oil hydrocracker, LPG, naphtha, kerosene and diesel, before they are split; practically sulfur-free paraffins, naphthenes and aromatics (REF BREF 2015, section 2.13). No composition recorded yet: one goes in only with its source (docs/registry.md, Fuel mixtures).

Routes compared

One route in the Atlas makes Hydrocracked products (LPG to diesel range): nothing to compare yet. A comparison appears when a second route is added.

Per 1 kg of Hydrocracked products (LPG to diesel range): 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.
