factor** Type calculated
Comment: Calculated based on total clinker consumed and total Portland + Blended

Comment: This value is an important indicator for your production. It presents the ratio of the
clinker in the cement produced. The output value is in percentage.
Comment: * Clinker/cement (eq.) factor The clinker/cement (eq.) factor is defined as: Total
clinker consumed / (own clinker consumed plus gypsum, lime stone, CKD plus
clinker substitute consumed for blending plus clinker bought and consumed).
Definition of clinker/cement (eq.) factor as in Protocol Guidance Document
Version 3, Section 6.3. The factor is based on clinker consumption. Hence, in the
denominator sold clinker is excluded and bought clinker is included. Cement
substitutes are excluded. See also the equation for its calculation in the comment
