Primary Life Cycle Inventory Data for Cement Production - Indian Cases

The data generated and published is the primary life cycle inventory from six Indian cement plants. We provide the data in three parts (in three different sheets) with information relevant to the steps followed in the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology, i.e., inventory, characterization factors and impacts (carbon footprint and energy consumed). All the data presented here (in sheet A and C) is associated with a tonne of clinker and cement (ordinary portland cement, portland pozzolana cement, portland slag cement) produced in each plant. Sheet A provides the detailed inventories (primary data) and characterization factors (based on primary and secondary sources) used in the case studies; Sheet B contains the detailed inventory, corresponding characterization factors and impact values for electricity production (per kWh) in the captive power plants of the cement plants, which is one of its kind of data; and sheet C contains the impact assessment results of all the different products relevant to the case studies and for the three different systems (system boundaries) considered for the LCA.
