| Technology description including background system | The cement CEM IV/A (P) 42,5 R - SR respond and is in accord to UNI EN 197-1. The composition (expressed as percentage in mass) is: Clinker 70,97%, Setting regulator 2,70%, Pozzolan 25,88%, Ferrous sulfate 0,43%, Additives 0,02%. The cement is produced in the plant of RAGUSA (RG) of RAGUSA CEMENTI S.p.A.. The main raw materials and constituents used for a typical clinker and cement are: limestone, clay, gypsum, pozzolan. Beyond cave and mines, to save natural raw materials, when is possible, are used secondary materials, as planned by Best Available Technologies (BAT). The cement studied CEM IV/A (P) 42,5 R - SR. The declared unit is 1.000 kg of cement. The amount of cement produced in the reference period, year 2022, is 18.862,706 ton. The system boundaries include the modules A1, A2 and A3 according to “from cradle to gate” application, in line with the amended EN 15804 Standard. The construction, maintenance and decommissioning of infrastructures have not been considered, since their contribution to the environmental impact relating to the declared unit is negligible. The cut-off criteria are set at 1%, in terms of mass, energy and environmental relevance. This means that a process is neglected if it is responsible for less than 1% of the total mass, primary energy and total impact. However, all the processes for which the data are available are taken into consideration, even if with a contribution of less than 1%. The cement production is modelled through primary data collected at RAGUSA (RG) of RAGUSA CEMENTI S.p.A. . plant for the reference period. Allocation is avoided whenever possible by dividing the system into sub-systems. When the allocation cannot be avoided, mass allocation is applied. For the modeling of waste, the “Polluter pays principle” is applied. The environmental potential impacts, for 1 ton of cement, are listed at pg.8-9 of present EPD Report, to which we refer for notes and details. | ||
