Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is concrete, all types to generic market for concrete, medium strength. The reference product is concrete, medium strength. The product concrete, medium strength represents a generic concrete, which is a weighted average of concrete strengths 40-50 MPa based on their production volumes. Medium strength concrete is generally used for construction of bridges and piers. 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 ordinary transforming activity.
