CPC v2.1 Code: 11050

About peat

cpc code 11050 covers the peat industry, which is a vital component of the broader energy and natural resources sector. Peat is a naturally occurring, partially decomposed organic material that is extracted from wetland environments and used for a variety of applications, including as a fuel source, soil amendment, and horticultural medium. The peat industry plays an important role in the global economy, providing a renewable and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels while also supporting various agricultural and industrial activities.

Production process

The production of peat involves the extraction and processing of the raw material from peatlands. This typically involves draining the wetland areas, mechanically harvesting the peat, and then drying and processing it into various forms, such as bales, briquettes, or powders. The specific techniques used can vary depending on the local climate, peat composition, and end-use requirements.

Production inputs

The peat industry relies on several key inputs, including the natural peat deposits found in wetland environments, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for extraction, processing, and transportation. Additionally, the industry may require energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, to power the production and processing operations.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the peat industry include peat fuel, which can be used for heating and power generation, as well as peat-based soil amendments and horticultural products. The peat industry's outputs may be consumed by a variety of other industries, such as 11010 Solid Mineral Fuels, 01000 Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing, and 20000 Manufacturing.
