Emission factor summary

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.8. Lightweight concrete blocks are made from aggregates with porous structure, which is mixed with cement and water. In this case, the aggregate is expanded perlite. The raw material mixture (aggregates, cement and water) of lightweight concrete blocks are poured into a mould then squeezed and finaly hardened by air. The main use of lightweight and autoclaved aerated concrete blocks are precision blocks, precision building plates, roof and floor panels, reinforced wall partition blocks, assembly beam, head and pillar units. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
