Alcoholic soda, 4% vol.
Climate footprint in kg CO2e/kg
Detailed background data
It has been assumed that the food processing industry is located in Denmark. The only actual ingredients taken from this type of product is the alcohol (4% by mass) and sugar content (10% by mass), taken from USDA (2020a). Alcohol is added as whisky (33.4 % alcohol by mass). The remaining ingredients and manufacturing energy are assumed as in a carbonated soft drink from Amienyo et al. (2012). The ingredients balance is closed with water. A theoretical density is estimated based on the sugar, water and alcohol content, of 1.027 kg/L. Retail is modelled assuming the following storage: Ambient.
