This study conducted a life cycle assessment of ceramic roof tiles produced in two Portuguese ceramic plants and found that the environmental performance of the tiles improved over a 10-year period due to technical and energy-saving measures. However, one type of tile had worse environmental performance in terms of acidification and photochemical oxidant formation, attributed to the use of refractory material.
The production of ceramic roof tiles is energy intensive, leading to high carbon dioxide emissions intensity. The aim of this study is to conduct a life cycle assessment study to evaluate the environmental profile of ceramic roof tiles produced in two Portuguese ceramic plants (T1 and T2) that use different technologies. This assessment is performed on a temporal basis (over a 10-year period) to evaluate the effect that ceramic processual changes have on environmental impacts. System boundaries include the whole life cycle-from extraction and acquisition of raw materials up to tile end of life. Environmental impacts were calculated for eight impact categories. The impact results show an overall improvement in the environmental performance of roof tiles produced in T1 and T2 for all impact categories over the 10-year period as a result of the continued introduction of technical and energy saving measures during the tile manufacturing. Overall, roof tile 2 shows the worst environmental profile for all impact categories, with the exceptions of acidification and photochemical oxidant formation, due to the use of refractory material in the firing process. These exceptions can be explained by the existence of a dry flue gas cleaning adsorber with a filter coupled at kilns in T2.
