Emission factor summary

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. The product 'concrete medium strength' represents a generic concrete which is a weighted average of concrete strengths 40-50 MPa based on their production volumes. Medium strength concrete is generally used for construction of bridges and piers. 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 cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
