Description

This liquid primary aluminum produced via prebaked aluminum electrolysis is intended for use in metallurgical processes. It is typically utilized as a raw material for creating an array of aluminum-based products in various industries, from construction through automotive to packaging. Users of this LCA data should note that the data set relies on the most recent and representative information from 2015, sourced from the International Aluminium Institute (IAI). When incorporating this data into assessments or models, consider the technological applicability as it pertains to global aluminum production standards. Be aware that inputs and background processes contributing less than 1% to the total input mass were not considered due to data availability. Users should ensure consistency by sourcing additional data from comparable years and institutions when necessary. Pay attention to the methodological advice provided and the consistent technological parameters that have been outlined for primary aluminum production.
