The aluminum ingot casting process described in this LCA data set primarily pertains to the production of primary aluminum ingots from liquid primary aluminum. This process is crucial for the creation of aluminum-based products and is applicable in various industries, including but not limited to the automotive, aerospace, construction, and packaging industries. The aluminum ingots produced can be further processed into different forms such as sheets, rods, or profiles for specific end-uses. The LCA data provided should be used with attention to methodological consistency within the scope of the study. Users should ensure the geographical and technological relevance of the data, taking into account the origin of the primary aluminum and the intended application of the aluminum ingots. When integrating this data with broader LCA models, considerations such as technology development and potential changes since the data's publication date in 2012 should be factored in. For accurate modeling, users may need to update the data to reflect current production practices and regional energy profiles.
