Where 0.782 comes from

Σ 0.78199: the three parts add up to MRPI's total, which it prints as 0.782.

Reporting this kilogram under the GHG Protocol

Scope 3, category 1 0.782

You buy the product for a building that is not yours. The product and its installation go to category 1, the delivery to category 4. The use stage belongs to the building owner; demolition waste you handle is category 5.

A4, A5, B1 to B7 and C1 to C4 are not declared: nothing to report.

Scenarios and units

Some EPDs price a module under several scenarios, such as different end-of-life routes. Each gets a tab, and each module's default is marked.

One scenario, as declared

Every module has one value, so there is nothing to choose.

Gases

MRPI publishes this factor as CO₂e only, with no split by gas. The CO₂e counts fossil, biogenic and land-use carbon together.

From MRPI's record to a comparable factor

MRPI publishes this EPD per kg, with one value per module. Each field as printed, and what open-climate.ai made of it.

The total and its modules

Use a module on its own when you report it in a different year or scope; never add one to the total.

About this factor

From MRPI

What it is

Portland cement, clinker content between 95 and 100%wt. Scope and type: Cement is a hydraulic binder, mainly used for concrete, mortar and cement screed. Since it is semi-finished product, in this EPD only the product stage is included. The environmental data in this EPD represents an average of cement produced at the product locations of HeidelbergCement in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany and supplied on the Dutch market. Representativeness: The data on this EPD is representative for the production on multiple locations based on the weighted average of product sold on the Dutch market. The environmental data in this EPD represents an average of cement produced at the production locations of Heidelberg Cement in: - Lixhe - Maastricht Calculation rules: Virtually no materials or processes have been excluded from the study cut-of rule is well below 1%. Refractories, grinding media and grinding aids are included. Primary data at the production locations of HeidelbergCement where collected in 2019-2020 from base year 2018. The “production” of secondary fuels and materials is allocated to the previous life cycle. Transportation to the production site of heidelbergCement is allocated to the production of cement. Also, the emissions from the combustion of secondary fuels for clinker production are allocated to the cement production. Biogenic CO2 emissions are not included. The LCA calculations are made using the Ecoinvent database v3.4. Infrastructure processes in Ecoinvent processes have been included, long term emissions in Ecoinventprocesses have been excluded from the LCA calculations. Scenarios and additional technical information: Module A1: This module includes the supply of raw materials and fuels. Module A2: This module includes the transport of raw materials and fuels to the cement plant. Module A3: This module includes the grinding of the raw materials, the production of the clinker and the processing and blending of the cement constituents. Declaration of SVHC: No substances that are listed in the latest ”Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern for authorisatio” are included in the product that exceeds the limit for registration. More information: www.enci.nl

What it includes

Cement is produced by intergrinding Portland cement clinker and other constituents. In this EPD only the production of bulk cement is considered. Packaging materials are not included. COMPONENT > 1% [kg / %] Portland cement clinker 95 - 100 Minor additional constituents 0 - 5 * > 1% of total mass
