Emission factor summary

Emission intensity of aggregates and sand - general - virgin mixture of land won and marine - bulk - loose. Excludes recycled and secondary aggregate. This has been modelled with 89% land won and 11% marine won aggregate. Consumption statistics have been taken from a report by British Marine Aggregates Producer Association a member of the Mineral Products Association (MPA). [Tenth sustainable development report for the British marine aggregate industry Dec 2016]. The consumption of marine aggregate was taken to be the total marine aggregate production. Of the total 68% are consumed in the GB market 11% are sent to the European market and 21% used as beach replenishment or fill. The source does not clarify if the kgCO2e value is calculated using either IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) or IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) methodologies.
