Ownership and limitation on use of EPD
Limitations
EPDs within the same product category but published in different EPD programmes, may not be comparable. For two EPDs to be comparable, they shall be based on the same PCR (including the same first-digit version number) or be based on fully aligned PCRs or versions of PCRs; cover products with identical functions, technical performances and use (e.g. identical declared/functional units); have identical scope in terms of included life-cycle stages (unless the excluded life-cycle stage is demonstrated to be insignificant); apply identical impact assessment methods (including the same version of characterisation factors); and be valid at the time of comparison.
Ownership
The EPD Owner has the sole ownership, liability, and responsibility for the EPD.

Description of the organisation of the EPD Owner
Located near the Escaut river and with a railway terminal inside the plant, the Gaurain-Ramecroix plant is one of the most modern and efficient in Europe, with a production capacity of 2.3 million tons of cement per year and a geographical position that allows distribution into the Belgian, French, Dutch and German markets. Adjacent to the cement factory, CCB has extensive proprietary limestone reserves. The range of cements produced by CCB is very wide ranging from type I Portland cements for concrete, precast and dry mixed products to special cements.

| Product name | FUTURECEM® - CEM II/B-M (Q-LL) 52.5 N |
|---|---|
| Product identification | 0965-CPR-C0498 ACCORDING TO EN 197-1 |
| Product description | FUTURECEM® - CEM II/B-M(Q-LL) 52.5N is a limestone calcined clay cement manufactured by CCB using FUTURECEM® patented technology which enables CO2 emission reduction. |
| Product information from external sources | www.ccb.group/fr_be |
| Technical purpose of product | The application of cement has a large variety; it is mostly used as a binder for ready mixed concrete, dry mixed and prefab concrete applications according to different standards across CCB commercial area. |
| Manufacturing or service provision description | Portland cement is made by heating, in a rotary kiln, a mixture of dry raw materials (mainly limestone) to a calcining temperature of above 800°C and then a so-called clinkerisation temperature, which is about 1450°C to sinter the materials into grey clinker. To achieve the desired property in the finished cement, other constituents (like limestone and calcined clay) are added to the clinker and the mixture is finely ground with small amount of gypsum. |

| Characterisation methods | The manufacturing consumption data was modelled in 2 steps: Clinker --> Cement Clinker - The data is inserted into the following forms (LCA stages in parenthesis); - Product description; data regarding the manufacturer and the product as well as the assessment including reference year and specification of Net methodology for Waste fuel modelling - Materials (A1, A2); input flows of raw materials used in the clinker production (limestone,fly ashe, iron oxides,…) and their transportation distances and transportation methods. Also, production volume is used as a divider in order to provide results per 1000 kg of clinker. - Manufacturing (A1, A2 and A3); input flows of electricity (A3) and fuels (A1, A2 and A3) used in the clinker production and their transportation distances and transportation modes. For fuels, the following additional specification is added based on 3rd party veried fuel data: Calorific value NCV, Emission factor. For waste fuels with a biogenic content, allocation % and biogenic % is specified. Furthermore fuels consumed by internal transportation is specified. - Waste management (A3): Output flows of waste from the clinker production. All waste burden reflected at clinker stage Cement - The data is inserted into the following forms (LCA stages in parenthesis); - Product description; data regarding the manufacturer and the product as well as the assessment including reference year and specification of Net methodology for Waste fuel modelling - Materials (A1, A2); input flows of raw materials used in the cement production: Clinker, gypsum, SCM (eg, limestone, fly ash, slag, calcined clay additives) and their transportation distances and transportation methods. Also, production volume is used as a divider in order to provide results per 1000 kg of product. - Manufacturing (A3); input flows of electricity consumed in cement grinding process (A3) |
| Technology description including background system | The outputs of the evaluation for all the process steps are at least Good for the Technology used, Very Good for the Geography used and at least Good for the Time (all data are less than 3 years) |
| Scrap (recycled material) inputs contribution level | Less than 10% of the GWP-GHG results in modules A1-A3 come from scrap inputs |
Data quality assessment
| Description of data quality assessment and reference years | The data overall is very complete, most processes are taken into account and primary data has been used where available. The data quality assessment has been conducted on the cradle-to-gate (A1-A3) impacts which are the mandatory stages and represent measured data. Data quality assessment of generic and specific data is handled according to the Table E.2 of EN15804+A2. Notice that all the data from the owner and Ecoinvent datasets (v3.10 ) are less than 3 years old. |

| Process name | Source type | Source | Reference year | Data category | Share of primary data, of GWP-GHG results for A1-A3 |

| Cement Manufacturing | Collected data, data base | Owner, Ecoinvent v3.10 | 2025 | 3% | |
| Total share of primary data, of GWP-GHG results for A1-A3 | 98% | ||||
| The share of primary data is calculated based on GWP-GHG results. It is a simplified indicator for data quality that supports the use of more primary data to increase the representativeness of and comparability between EPDs. Note that the indicator does not capture all relevant aspects of data quality and is not comparable across product categories. | |||||
