Development of emission factor for building materials industry in Vietnam

Abstract

Country-specific emission factors and sector-specific emission factors are simple, effective and accurate tools for estimation of greenhouse gas emissions. This paper presents a methodological for establishing emission factors for building materials industry in Vietnam, including ceramic, sanitary, bricks and glass. The results show that specific emission factors are 0.868kgCO_2-e/kg ceramic tiles; 0.869kgCO_2-e /kg granite tiles; 1,106kgCO_2-e /kg for sanitary wares and 0.885kgCO_2-e /kg of glass.
