Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is concrete production, 45MPa, for building construction, with cement, CEM II/B. The reference product is concrete, 45MPa. The product concrete, 45MPa represents 45 MPa ready-mix and high-strength concrete. Ready-mix concrete consists on mixed cement, aggregates, admixtures and water in a predefined proportion. 45 MPa concrete is used for suspended structural beams and slabs, and pre-cast items such as flagstones and heavy-duty floors such as workshop floors. 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.
