Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is inert material landfill construction. The reference product is inert material landfill. This is an immobile infrastructure, representing the construction of an inert material landfill. The infrastructure represents a landfill for inert, insoluble, largely unpolluted, mostly mineral wastes like bricks, concrete, excavation material with carbon content below 5%. It has a 450,000 m3 volume, with an average waste density of 1,500 kg/m3, 1 year construction phase, 10 years use phase and 5 years aftercare phase. The process includes building materials for the construction, operation, aftercare and access road construction. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
