Embodied energy and CO2 in UK dimension stone
چکیده انگلیسی

A process based life cycle assessment of dimension stone production in the UK has been carried out according to PAS 2050. From a survey of eight production operations, on a cradle-to-site basis for UK destinations the carbon footprint of sandstone is 77 kgCO2e/tonne, that of granite is 107 kgCO2e/tonne and that of slate is 251 kgCO2e/tonne. These values are considerably higher for stone imported from abroad due to the impact of transport. Reducing the reliance on imported stone will contribute to emissions reduction targets as well as furthering the goals of sustainable development.
