| Use advice for data set | When using this data for Life Cycle Assessment, ensure that the scope of your study matches the system boundary defined as the production stages within the cement workshops – specifically the crushing, raw material, calcining, and cement workshops. Focus only on the carbon emissions from these production stages. The functional unit is the production of 1 ton of Portland cement with a clinker content of 70%. Consider the market shares of different production processes when extrapolating the data for larger assessments. Verify the technological applicability of the data to your specific context and update the emission factors and energy consumption information if more recent data is available. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The described data set represents the average process of common Portland cement production in China. This cement is generally used for construction purposes including buildings, infrastructure, and other civil engineering works. The data set accounts for varying production capacities and technologies such as the small, medium, and large new dry processes, and the vertical kiln method, reflecting their respective market shares in the Chinese cement industry. |

| General comment on data set | Market share: 9.29% of small new dry process; 23.21% of medium new dry process; 29.32% of large new dry process; 38.18% of vertical kiln. The raw material consumption list data comes from the average data of the production of silicate cement in China under different processes. |
