Concrete - average UK mix

Emission factor summary
Emission intensity of concrete - average UK mix. Data from EPD-RMC-20180095-CBG1-EN for average UK concrete produced by the British Ready-Mixed Concrete Association (BRMCA) part of the Mineral Products Association (MPA). Concrete mixture is 200kg CEM I 95 kg ggbs 15 kg fly ash 1915kg aggregate 139 kg water and 1.55 kg admixture. It is strongly recommended to avoid selecting a 'general' value for concrete. Selecting data for a specific cement content in the concrete type will give much greater accuracy. 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.
