Use advice for data set When utilizing this LCA dataset for Portland cement production, it is critical to ensure that the system boundary includes the entire in-plant production process from raw material pretreatment to the homogenization of cement, as well as the input of external resources and release of emissions. It is important to consider the specific emissions profiles of the shaft kiln process, particularly the consumption of electricity and coal, and the generation of particulate matter, SO2, NOx, and CO2. The functional unit for this dataset is 1kg of 42.5 grade Portland cement, and this detail must be considered when scaling the data for use in broader models or assessments. Any considerations for the end-of-life phase, including recycling or waste treatment, must be added to the existing data set according to the specific context of the evaluation. |
