Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is unreinforced concrete production, 15MPa, with cement, CEM II/B. The reference product is unreinforced concrete, 15MPa. The product unreinforced concrete, 15MPa represents unreinforced concrete with strength 15 MPa. This concrete does not contain any reinforcement steel or other metals. It can be used in all exposition classes, except for applications with exposure to frost with or without de-icing agents, to abrasion or to chemicals; for concrete with reinforcement, the application shall be very dry, e.g., in buildings with very low humidity. 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.
