Detailed background data
It has been assumed that the food processing industry is located in Denmark. Basic mass balance from the Danish LCA food database (Nirelsen et al. 2003; Pontoppidan and Hansen 2000) and inputs of water and energy from Blonk (2015). Chicken thighs, drumsticks, breast and wings are co-determining products. A change in demand for one of the co-products will adjust so that they have thje same market trend. A change in demand for one of the co-products will affect the production volume of the multiple output process in proportion to its share in the gross margin of the co-product (Schmidt 2010). This is equivalent to the result of an economic allocation. Prices for all co-products have been obtained at the retail level from Sainsbury's supermarkets, in GBP/kg, as 1.7 for wings, 5 for breast, 1.7 for drumstick and 1.8 for thigh. Retail is modelled assuming the following storage: Cooled. See more details as well as literature references in the methodoly report on: www.denstoreklimadatabase.dk.
Data on inputs and outputs of the food processing industry is modelled using: Pontoppidan and Hansen; Nielsen et al. (2003); Blonk (2015); Schmidt (2010)
