Declaration number: Place of production:

Revised NEPD 0211N Norcem AS Kjøpsvik
The EPD is revised with respect to sement composition
with less clinker and more limestone.
This declaration is based on Product Category Rules: Management system:
EN 15804:2012+A1:2013 serve as core PCR. ISO 14001 serified (S-007)
ISO 9001 sertified (S-006)

The EPD has been worked out by: Comparability:

EPD of construction products may not be comparable if
Mie Vold they not comply with EN 15804 and seen in a building
context.

Year of study:
2013 + revision of cement mix in 2015
Verification:
Independent verification of data, other environmental
information and EPD has been carried out in accordance Approved

LCA: Calculation rules

Declared unit: System boundary:
1 tonne cement from raw material extraction to factory From raw material extraction to factory gate. Including a
gate (A1-A3) scenario for transport to market.

Clinker production process

The main processes at Norcem Kjøpsvik are:
* Extraction of limestone from a mine (open pit) nearby the production plant.
* Correction materials (quartz and iron oxide) are added to the limestone.
* The mix is ground and burned at high temperatures (1450 oC) to clinker.
* Clinker is ground and fly ash and smaller amounts of gypsum, limestone and iron sulphate are added to the cement.

Allocation
The allocation is made ​in accordance with the provisions of EN 15804.
Incoming energy and water and waste production in-house production is allocated equally among all products through
mass allocation. Effects of primary production of recycled materials allocated to the main product in which the material was
used. The recycling process and transportation of the material is allocated to this analysis.

Cut-off criteria
All major raw materials and all the essential energy is included. The production process for raw materials and energy flows
that are included with very small amounts (<1%) are not included. This cut-off rule does not apply for hazardous materials
and substances.

LCA: Scenarios and additional technical information

The declaration is based on a "cradle to gate" analysis. Nevertheless, the transportation to a fictitious central warehouse is
shown in the key indicator table to highlight the contribution of transport to the market.

LCA: Results
The analysis includes the declared unit from raw material extraction to factory gate in addition to a scenario for transport to
market.
In module A1 included production of raw materials from extraction of resources. A2 includes transport of raw materials to
the production facility at Norcem Kjøpsvik. A3 includes production process at Norcem.

Figure 1 shows GWP emissions divided on sources. The FIgure shows that the Process, clinker oven gives the largest
contributions to greenhouse gas impacts. This is due to two aspects: the heating of limestone releases CO 2, as well as the
burning of fossil fuels to achieve the high kiln temperature required.
