“…In the same year, the first book about LCA was published in Spain introducing the concept and the theme that the ISO and SETAC widely used internationally [7]. Many Italian universities have researched on the LCA since 1993 and five years later, the LCA method was extensively adopted to evaluate the product in a wide range of famous enterprises such as ABB, FIAT [8]. The Substance Flow Analysis(SFA) was utilized to analyze the material flow of the building and packing materials considering the environmental load which resulted in the environment coordination progress of the industrial economy materials and products.…”

The development and application of light aggregate concrete blocks are considered as one of the key issue that promote the energy saving and emission reduction in construction and building materials industries. In this paper, the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of light aggregate concrete blocks during the whole life cycle were analyzed based on life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology. The results demonstrated that the amount of GHG emissions of the light aggregate concrete block was 174 kg/m3 in the system boundary of ‘from cradle to gate’. The direct GHG emissions was 51.31 kg/m3 accounting for 28.46% of the aggregate emission, while the indirect GHG emissions was 124 kg/m3. The cement production and the concrete block production were the main contributors to the total emissions. According to the sensitivity analysis, the GHG emissions amount was quite sensitive to the amount of cement and ceramsite consumption.
