6758a203-dce6-48d2-8006-39325665de6c Carbon footprint of imported reactive phosphate rock (RPR) to NZ regional storage Technology mix Production at plant, Morocco Fertilizers Agricultural Fertilizers\2010 Fert Proj \ILCD proj The cradle-to-manufacturing stage: The LCI of the manufacturing stage was data based on literature. Unit processes of mining and beneficiation were retrieved. Transport: Overseas freight train transport in Morocco to the port, as well as transport on ocean freight ship to New Zealand and subsequently to regional storages were based on information of destination provided by the NZ fertiliser industry. 0 1993-1997 The data set represents the situation for phosphate rock production in Morocco, shipped to New Zealand and stored. For use in NZ The reactive rock phosphate is a fertiliser with a phosphorus (P) content of 14.5%, similar to 33.2% P2O5 [13]. The process is based on sedimentary marine phosphorites in Morocco; a Khouribga sedimentary phosphate rock. In order to produce 1 tonne of commercial phosphate rock with a content of 33% P2O5, 1.3 tonnes phosphate ore must be mined and beneficiated. In absence of specific mining information of Khouribga, we used average phosphate rock production in Morocco [12]. Mining in Morocco is in open pit (86%) or underground mines (14%). Figure 2 gives an overview of the relevant unit processes of RPR from cradle-to-manufacturing-gate. After mining, phosphate rock is beneficiated (crushed, washed, and dried), depending on its organic content. Of the phosphate rock in Morocco, 43% are beneficiated by washing and drying, 9% are calcinated, 11% are dry processed (sieving, crushing), and 37% are only dried. For this inventory of dry rock, only 0.3 tonnes waste rock per tonne PR is produced. Diesel and electricity consumption for mining operations were taken from ecoinvent, while using country-specific information. Heat (50% natural gas ; 50% heavy fuel oil) and electricity consumption for beneficiation were also taken from ecoinvent while using country-specific information for modelling, e.g., by using national grid information. Transport by freight train form manufacturing site to overseas port is included, as well as transport on ocean freight ship to New Zealand. Weighted transport distances are used, based on countries of origin provided by the NZ fertiliser industry. Weighted transport to two NZ ports (Tauranga and Christchurch) and subsequently to regional storages (Te Puke and Nelson respectively) is included, based on information of destination provided by the NZ fertiliser industry. Reactive phosphate rock is used as a fertilizer in agriculture. It can also be used as component for the production of a multi-nutrient fertiliser. Presented in report LCI result Attributional There is no allocation necessary for the phosphate rock manufacturing process. Allocation of upstream data (energy): * Energy data (e.g. refined products like diesel, gasoline, fuel oil and propane) are allocated by mass in relation to the refinery emissions and energy demands are allocated by energy content in relation to the crude oil consumption. Unspecified Data set based on average site specific and literature data - on an annual basis. SimaPro 2011 Ecoinvent: Overview and Methodology Spielmann M. et. al. (2007) Althaus, H.-J., et al., (2007) Report 8 This dataset can be used for carbon footprint studies of NZ farming systems which use imported fertilisers from NZ regional storage. The dataset excludes field emissions from fertiliser use. All relevant flows quantified The reviewers found - that the study on the LCI on greenhouse gas emissions of the imported RPR at regional NZ storage followed both ISO 14040 and 14044 - that the approaches adopted were scientifically and technically valid - that because of AgResearch’s good relationship with the NZ fertiliser industry the data were of the highest quality possible Plant & food Research; Brent Clothier, Markus Deurer, Karin Müller AgriLINK, Andrew Barber An earlier version of the datasets and report were also reviewed by Andrew Barber from AgriLINK. The reviewer found minor grammar mistakes. He also recommended disaggregating the results into different life cycle stages, which was done in the report. Another comment was that the dataset excludes field emissions from fertiliser use, which was made clearer.
