Emission factor summary
Emission intensity of clay - Brick. Density needs to consider voids in the finished bricks. Average UK brick weighs 2.13 kg per brick (Source: The Brick Development Association). The source does not clarify if the kgCO2e value is calculated using either IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) or IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) methodologies.
