Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is concrete production, 20MPa, self-construction, for building construction, with cement, type IP. The Reference Product is concrete, 20MPa. The product concrete, 20MPa represents 20 MPa ready-mix concrete. Ready-mix concrete consists on mixed cement, aggregates, admixtures and water in a predefined proportion. 20 MPa concrete is intended for residential use, such as footings for walls, columns, fireplaces, chimneys, foundations, walls, grade beams, piers, not exposed to freeze-thaw. 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 transforming activity.
