Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is concrete production, 40MPa, for civil engineering, with cement, ART. The reference product is concrete, 40MPa. The product concrete, 40MPa represents 40MPa ready-mix concrete. Ready-mix concrete consists on mixed cement, aggregates, admixtures and water in a predefined proportion. 40 MPa concrete is intended for building structures in general, not exposed to freeze-thaw, including residential, commercial and industrial uses. Megapascal (MPa) is a measure of the compressive strength of concrete (N/mm2). MPa informs of how much pressure can be applied to the concrete product before it cracks or fails. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
