Emission intensity of aac concrete block - average strength - 215 mm thickness - 440 mm length - 215 mm width. Density 600 kg per m3. Average UK mixture of 61% pfa aggregate 14% other aggregates 14% cement 8% quicklime 3% water. Also contains small amounts of aluminium powder as the expansion agent. These results are based upon an EPD number EPD-BPC-20170093-CCD1-EN produced by Aircrete Products Association (APA) a product group of British Precast. The source does not clarify if the kgCO2e value is calculated using the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) or IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) or IPCC Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) methodologies.
