Hello everyone,

I'm conducting a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of 1 m³ of structural concrete at site, modeled till Stage A5 as per EN 15804, using GaBi software.

I'm specifically looking to model the upstream sourcing of raw materials (Stage A1) in detail — from extraction and processing to transportation to the batching plant — for materials like:

• Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) / PPC
• Aggregates (coarse and fine)
• Fly ash, GGBS or other SCMs
• Water and admixtures (if possible)

I’m currently using global or European datasets, but would prefer Indian-specific LCI datasets to improve accuracy and regional relevance.

Can anyone suggest:

• Reliable Indian datasets (open or licensed)?
• Government or academic sources (e.g., CPCB, IITs, NCB, GRIHA)?
• Previous studies or case reports where this level of upstream modeling has been done?

Any pointers on integrating such data into GaBi would also be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help — happy to share back findings for anyone interested!
