Guideline for Calculation of Carbon Footprints for Cement products

Scope

This document aims to provide guidelines for quantifying the Carbon Footprint of Products (CFP) for cement products based on life cycle thinking, with the goal of promoting environmental improvement within the cement-related industries. Specifically, this document covers the principles, requirements, and reporting related to the quantification of CFP for cement products, as well as carbon offsetting and the communication of CFP or partial CFP information as a single impact category. Additionally, this document describes Product Category Rules (PCR) for cement products, defining specific rules, requirements, and guidelines to reduce uncertainty.
