An approach to quantifying the key greenhouse gas emissions in California concrete production

The objective of this study is to develop a cohesive, unified dataset of
life cycle inventories - needed to quantify the effects of material,
energy, waste, and emission flows on the environmental impacts of
concrete. The models developed will consider GHG emissions, namely CO2,
CH4, and N2O emissions, for the key components of cement and concrete
production in California. The structure of the data will allow for the
tailoring of inputs to capture variations in different regions around the
world. This allows the user to adapt for production in other regions or
for importing material from other regions.
