Comment: This is a market activity. Each market represents the consumption mix of a product in a given geography, connecting suppliers with consumers of the same product in the same geographical area. Markets group the producers and also the imports of the product (if relevant) within the same geographical area. They also account for transport to the consumer and for the losses during that process, when relevant. This is the market for 'shale', in the Global geography. Transport from producers to consumers of this product in the geography covered by the market is included. This market is supplied by the following activities with the given share: shale quarry operation, RoW: 1.0 generalComment of shale quarry operation (RoW): This GLO dataset is extrapolated from the Quebec dataset which represents the extraction of 1 kg of shale in Quebec in 2012. This dataset represent the extraction of shale in Quebec in 2012. Specific data were collected from the only producer of brick (made from shale) in Quebec, with an annual production of 70'000 tons. The assumed thickness of shale on the site is 90 feet (sampling reveal the presence of shale at this depht) and because 30 feet has been used in the last 100 years, the total lifetime is estimated to 300 years. No shale quarry construction is needed since the infrastructures are associated with the brick production. Therefore only the land transformation related to the quarry opening is accounted for in the current dataset.
