Embodied emissions are the ‘baked in’ carbon dioxide (and equivalent gas) emissions associated with material sourcing, manufacturing, and construction, and end of life. Structural materials such as steel and concrete account for most greenhouse gas emissions due to energy intensive manufacturing processes.
