Use advice for data set When utilizing this dataset for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of cement products, ensure that the scope of your LCA incorporates the collection of raw materials, coal preparation, clinker calcination, and cement grinding stages. The dataset's functional unit is based on the production of 1 ton of cement. LCA practitioners should take into account the production line's operating days per year and the integration of mixed solid waste materials in the cement composition. Special attention must be given to the emission data during the clinker calcination stage, which includes CO2, SO2, and NOx. Due to regional variances in raw material composition and energy consumption patterns, the geographical and technological applicability should be considered when applying this data to cement manufacturing elsewhere. |
