The inventory is mainly based on industry data and is completed, where necessary, by secondary data.98The data set represents the country / region specific situation, focusing on the main technologies, the region specific characteristics and / or import statistics.The life cycle assessment of crushed stone covers the quarring of limestone blocks via blasting agent and its crushing. The limestone is milled in a multi step process by using roller mills. It is then sorted by size in vibration sieves or in an upstream classifier. The assessment includes the life cycle from energy generation and raw material supply to the finished product on the factory gate. The infrastructure and the production of the manufacturing facility is not considered. Transports "gate to building site" are not part of the system and have to be considered afterwards. The background system is addressed as follows: Electricity, Thermal energy: The electricity (and thermal energy as by-product) used is modelled according to the individual country-specific situation. The country-specific modelling is achieved on multiple levels. Firstly the individual power plants in service are modelled according to the current national grid. This includes net losses and imported electricity. Second, the national emission and efficiency standards of the power plants are modelled. Third, the country-specific fuel supply (share of resources used, by import and / or domestic supply) including the country-specific properties (e.g. element and energy contents) are accounted for. Fourth, the import, transport, mining and exploration processes for the energy carrier supply chain are modelled according to the specific situation of each power-producing country. The different mining and exploration techniques (emissions and efficiencies) in the different exploration countries are accounted for according to current engineering knowledge and information. Transports: All relevant and known transport processes used are included. Overseas transport including rail and truck transport to and from major ports for imported bulk resources are included. Furthermore all relevant and known pipeline and / or tanker transport of gases and oil imports are included. Energy carriers: Coal, crude oil, natural gas and uranium are modelled according to the specific import situation (see electricity). Refinery products: Diesel, gasoline, technical gases, fuel oils, basic oils and residues such as bitumen are modelled via a country-specific, refinery parameterized model. The refinery model represents the current national standard in refinery techniques (e.g. emission level, internal energy consumption,...) as well as the individual country-specific product output spectrum, which can be quite different from country to country. Hence the refinery products used show the individual country-specific use of resources. The supply of crude oil is modelled, again, according to the country-specific crude oil situation with the respective properties of the resources.Diesel mix at refineryElectricity grid mix (EN15804 B6)Standard mineral product used as natural aggregates in the construction industry according to the applied technology.Construction_crushed_stone_flowchart_0b1aeae3-3960-11dd-ae16-0800200c9a66.jpgLCI resultAttributionalNoneAllocation - net calorific valueAllocation - massAll allocations are used in the upstream processes. For the combined crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production allocation by net calorific value is applied. Within the refinery allocation by net calorific value and mass is used.
Background system: For the combined heat and power production, allocation by exergetic content is applied. For the electricity generation and by-products, e.g. gypsum, allocation by market value is applied due to no common physical properties. Within the refinery allocation by net calorific value and mass is used. For the combined crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production allocation by net calorific value is applied.
For details please see the document "GaBi Databases Modelling Principles"All data used in the calculation of the LCI results refer to net calorific value. For the transport of energy carriers average transport processes with specific parameter settings e.g. transport distances and route (ship, pipeline, rail, road) are used.NoneGaBi Modelling PrinciplesGaBi Water Modelling PrinciplesGaBi Agriculture Model DocumentationGaBi Land Use Change Model DocumentationGaBi Energy Modelling PrinciplesGaBi Refinery Modelling PrinciplesCut-off rules for each unit process: Coverage of at least 95 % of mass and energy of the input and output flows, and 98 % of their environmental relevance (according to expert judgement).

The data acquisition was mainly based on a survey with manufacturers of mineral aggregates. Moreover literature was used as information source. LCI modelling is fully consistent.NoneDue to a lack of information it is assumed, that the raw stone is transported one half each via conveyor and truck to the preparation site.NoneGaBi databases 2006Umweltgesichtspunkte bei der Herstellung und Anwendung von Kalkprodukten, Teil 3Umweltgesichtspunkte bei der Herstellung und Anwendung von Kalkprodukten, Teil 2Ökologische Bilanzierung von Baustoffen und Gebäuden, 2000Umweltgesichtspunkte bei der Herstellung und Anwendung von Kalkprodukten, 1995Baustoff Atlas, 2005Natürliche Zuschläge im Netzwerk Lebenszyklusdaten, 2007GaBi databases 200695.0NoneThe data set represents a cradle to gate inventory.
