Emission factor summary
The activity generating the emissions is sand to generic market for inert filler. The Reference Product is inert filler. The product "inert filler" represents sand. It is used for cement production. The main groups of fine-grained mineral solids used as admixtures are powdered unreactive rock, such as limestone or quartz, which are either natural or industrial by-products. Unreactive rock material is an inert filler that can improve the workability of the fresh concrete, especially when the available aggregate lack fines. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity.
