Emission intensity of bitumen emulsion. Bitumen emulsion contains a large volume of water which evaporates during the setting process. The data here is for the quantity of set bitumen e.g. after the water has evaporated. Source: Eurobitume 2012. Life cycle inventory bitumen 2nd edition Published by the European Bitumen Association. The value covers the embodied carbon excluding embodied carbon from infrastructure (i.e. carbon to make machines that make machines or embodied carbon of buildings). GWP factors from IPPC AR5 applied without carbon feedback.
