This dataset represents the blast-furnace ironmaking process which is utilized for the production of hot metal from raw materials such as sinter, pellets, lump ore, and scrap. The hot metal produced is primarily used as a raw material in steelmaking processes. When utilizing this dataset for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), users should consider the specific technological context of the ironmaking process, including the types of inputs and energy sources used. It is essential to include system boundaries that encapsulate the full ironmaking operation, and to account for any co-products or waste materials generated during the blast-furnace process. Users should also pay attention to the geographic and temporal relevance of the data, ensuring it is appropriate for the intended application.
