Emission intensity of cement (CEM II/A). Includes emissions from LCA module A1-A3. This emission factor is valid until 2026. Retrieved from the CSV file OEKOBAUDAT 2024-I in the source URL. For additional information on the application and interpretation of this emission factor please refer to the link: https://www.oekobaudat.de/OEKOBAU.DAT/resource/processes/aaaedf41-a759-4756-bd55-cd2af3af17f4?version=20.24.070

Emission intensity of cement (cem ii/a). The lifecycle assessment for modules A1-A3 includes: the extraction and processing of raw materials (A1) their transportation to the manufacturer (A2) and the actual manufacturing of the product (A3). Retrieved from the CSV file OEKOBAUDAT 2023-I in the source URL.

The activity generating the emissions is cement production, CEM II/A. The reference product is cement, CEM II/A. The product cement, CEM II/A represents the production mix of CEM II/A-D, CEM II/A-LL and CEM II/A-S according to EN 197-1, also known as Portland-limestone cement or Portland composite cement. CEM II/A is made of clinker and 6-20% alternative constituents (weight-%). Alternative constituents may include limestone, granulated blast furnace slag, silica sand (max. 10%), pozzolan, flue ash or burned slate. Portland composite cement is used for the production of concrete. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
