Description

The process described pertains to converter steelmaking, where crude steel is produced using a combination of hot metal derived from iron ore and scrap steel. This is a unit process at a facility identified by the code Z13. The produced crude steel is typically used as a raw material for manufacturing a wide range of steel products such as construction materials, automotive components, and machinery. When using this LCA data set, users should account for any emissions and energy consumption specific to this Z13 converter steelmaking process. Ensure that the system boundaries are defined to include all relevant inputs and outputs. If considering the end-of-life phase, users must decide on the allocation of recycling benefits or burdens when using this data. The methodological approach should be consistent with the goal and scope of the LCA study.
