A Brief Guide to Calculating Embodied Carbon
UAE-produced bar with no recycled content could be closer to 2.1kgCO 2 e/kg. The A1–A3 ECF is multiplied by the material quantity to give an estimate of the embodied carbon due to production of that material. Example UK ECFs are given in Table 2 (these should be treated with care as per the reinforcement example above). A more accurate
