Peat

CPC v2.1 Code: 1105

About peat

cpc code 1105 covers the industry of peat extraction and processing. Peat is a naturally occurring, partially decomposed organic material that is found in wetland ecosystems, particularly in northern regions. It is an important natural resource with a wide range of applications, including as a fuel source, soil amendment, and horticultural growing medium. The peat industry plays a significant role in the broader economy, providing raw materials for various industries and contributing to energy production.

Production process

The production of peat involves the extraction of the material from peatlands, also known as bogs or moors. This is typically done through mechanical harvesting methods, where the top layer of peat is removed and processed. The extracted peat is then dried, graded, and sometimes further processed to meet the specific requirements of its end-use applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the peat industry include the peatland resources themselves, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for extraction, processing, and transportation. Additionally, the industry may rely on energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, to power the production and processing operations.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the peat industry are the processed peat products, which can be used as a fuel source, soil amendment, or horticultural growing medium. The peat industry's outputs may be consumed by a variety of other industries, such as 1201 Solid Fuels, 2101 Fertilizers and Nitrogen Compounds, and 0122 Cultivation of Vegetables and Melons, Roots and Tubers.
