Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is concrete production, 20MPa, for building construction, with cement, type IP. The Reference Product is concrete, 20MPa. The product concrete, 20MPa represents 20 MPa ready-mix concrete. Ready-mix concrete consists on mixed cement, aggregates, admixtures and water in a predefined proportion. 20 MPa concrete is intended for residential use, such as footings for walls, columns, fireplaces, chimneys, foundations, walls, grade beams, piers, not exposed to freeze-thaw. 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 transforming activity.
