Description

The process described pertains to the rolling of steel billets into steel products. It is applicable in the production of various steel structures and components such as beams, bars, and rods, which are essential in construction, automotive, machinery, and other industries requiring robust and durable metal parts. When utilizing this data set for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), it is crucial to ensure that it is appropriately matched to the technological profile of the assessed process. If this process data set represents a specific part of a steel production chain, users must exclude any upstream or downstream processes to avoid double-counting. Additionally, considerations on the energy source mix and the potential for recycling at the end of life should be factored in for a comprehensive assessment. Any deviations from the technological characteristics of the Z2 factory should be noted and adjusted for in the model.
