Description
Source-traceable UVEK 2025 inventory. Reference flow: 1 kilogram.
Included are raw materials and chemicals used for production, transport of materials to manufacturing plant, estimated emissions to air and water from production (incomplete), energy demand and infrastructure of the plant (approximation). Solid wastes omitted.
Energy consumption is based on industrial data. Material consumption is calculated based on stochiometric formula. Emissions are based on rough assumptions.
NF3 is produced from elementary fluorine.
Time of publications.
Original technosphere quantities and waste-service signs restored. Biosphere uses the CLIC ecoinvent 3.10 profile; regional water metadata is retained but its regional characterization is not reproduced. No claim of exact reproduction of report impact results.

See the cited source notice; this release does not broaden those terms.
CLIC metadata curation (2026-09-17): TRL 9 and mature-commercial status are curator estimates of the established underlying industrial route(s), not publisher-assigned ratings or evidence that a particular modelled plant exists. Representativeness estimates (1 best, 5 weakest): technology 4, geography 2, temporal 5. Workbook chemical/material inventory and its retained source comments: established industrial route, but predominantly 1976-2009 data. Stoichiometry, allocation, estimated emissions or proxy energy limit representativeness; metallization pastes use a solder-process proxy. A 2026 publication does not update these measurements. No defensible dataset-specific plant capacity, utilization, annual output or lifetime is stated for this reference flow. Industry totals and sample coverage are not plant measurements. Unreported characterization fields remain blank. Source: IEA PVPS T12-33:2026, DOI 10.69766/WJTE1771; X-NF3, column L. Metadata: X-Process!IZ; workbook period 2005-2007.

Release notes
pv-2026-uvek-heroku-drafts-20260915. pv-2026-uvek-publication-20260915. Curator-led source-backed PV 2026 release, not a community peer-review checklist. 317 UVEK 2025 inventories and 7,296 exchanges validated; nine documented water-balance/fuel-CO2 warnings retained. Approved proxies and biosphere conversion limitations remain documented. Unknown quality scores are not invented. Data-adaptation changes: native UVEK suppliers restored; approved geographic and transport proxies retained; CLIC ecoinvent 3.10 biosphere conventions applied. No claim of exact reproduction of the report's impact assessment results.
