Environmental impacts of “cradle-to-gate” brick production stages was assessed and the effect of fuel substitution and variation of electricity mix on the impact was evaluated. Scenarios with natural gas, bio-methane, first and second generation bio-fuels used as the fuels in industrial furnace were studied. Scenarios were analyzed using “ReCiPe” and “EcoIndicator’99” impact assessment methods.
