Use advice for data set When using this data for life cycle assessment of Portland cement manufacturing process, consider the direct environmental impacts associated with raw material preparation, clinker burning, cement grinding, and packaging. Additionally, include the indirect environmental impacts related to upstream processes such as limestone mining, coal production, electricity production for the facility, and transportation of raw materials. It is recommended to use the data in accordance with the methodology outlined by Di Xianghua and Li Lu for transportation, and consider resource consumption data from Li Songbing's findings. The energy consumption data should be sourced from the Cement Industry Association's publications and analyzed in the context of the '2010 Cement Industry Risk Analysis Report'. Emission factors need to be derived from the 2008 Statistical results of China's pollution source census, and CO2 emissions should be estimated according to their respective origins in the process. |
