Time representativeness
Data set valid until 2026
Time representativeness description This dataset has been considered valid until 2026, since no main changes have occurred in the electricity production from natural gas in the investigated years.
Technological representativeness
Technology description including background system The dataset (1kWh of electricity from natural gas in Italy) refers to a system that includes the entire production phase of natural gas, plant engineering, water consumption and emissions (primary data from EMAS declarations of plants representing the Italian reality, and secondary data from TERNA and ISPRA. For the LCA study, background datasets from EcoInvent database 3.7.1 cut-off were used.

The review was performed in compliance with Arcadia Metodology: “Metodologia per gli studi di filiera della Banca Dati italiana LCA” and ISO 14040-44 norms. The dataset has been assessed limited to the foreground data collected during the supply chain studies. Each dataset has been evaluated based on the following 4 criteria: 1. Technological Representativeness; 2. Time Representativeness; 3. Geographical Representativeness; 4. Reliability (A) In this contest the Reliability is very good.
Subsequent review comments
The study was judged by the reviewer as compliant with both ISO 14040-44 and Arcadia methodology.
