Description
Limestone can be directly processed into aggregates or calcined to produce quicklime. This dataset includes energy consumption and atmospheric emissions from the production process, but infrastructure such as production equipment and factory construction is not within the system boundary. The life cycle inventory data were sourced from literature and optimized based on the best available information for 2022. Limestone production activities include mining, crushing, screening, and product storage processes.
