Emission Factor

Granulated blast furnace slag (market for granulated blast furnace slag)

Emission factor summary

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.8. The product "granulated blast furnace slag" represents the intermediate treatment of raw blast furnace slag, producing an output of granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS). GBFS resembles a natural sand grain, with a more angular form. It has a glass content of over 95% and presents excellent hydraulic properties. The GBFS usually goes through a subsequent grinding process, generating a supplementary cementitious material called ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS). The most import part of the raw material for producing blast furnace slag cement is dry granulated blast furnace slag. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is market activity. The reference product amount is 1.
