Gases

Boverket publishes this factor as CO₂e only, with no split by gas. The CO₂e leaves biogenic CO₂ and land-use carbon out; methane from biogenic sources is counted.

From Boverket's record to a comparable factor

Boverket publishes the three parts; open-climate.ai added them up to this total. Here is each field as printed and what open-climate.ai made of it.

The total and its parts

Each part has its own page, with its own years and source record. Never add a part to the total.

About this factor

From Boverket

What it is

Concrete is made from rock, gravel and cement where the main raw material is limestone. Environmental data for the cement binders used are based on EPDs for commonly used cement grades on the Swedish market.

What it includes

The compressive strength class of the concrete follows the standard EN 206:2013+A1:2016 and SS 137003:2015.

Where it applies

Structural concrete is mainly used for the load-bearing parts of a building. In addition to compressive strength, the concrete mix is determined by the exposure class as well as other properties, such as consistency, setting time, and drying time. The concrete composition and binder mix is representative for dry concrete sold in 25 kg sacks on the Swedish market called coarse concrete and the class K25.
