Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is market for lightweight concrete block, expanded perlite. The reference product is lightweight concrete block, expanded perlite. Lightweight concrete blocks are made from aggregates with porous structure, which is mixed with cement and water. In this case, the aggregate is expanded perlite. The raw material mixture (aggregates, cement and water) of lightweight concrete blocks are poured into a mould then squeezed and finaly hardened by air. The main use of lightweight and autoclaved aerated concrete blocks are precision blocks, precision building plates, roof and floor panels, reinforced wall partition blocks, assembly beam, head and pillar units. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary market activity.
