| Use advice for data set | When using this dataset for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), practitioners need to ensure that the technological scope corresponds to the prebaking aluminum electrolysis technology and its use in metallurgy. It is important to pay attention to the temporal relevance of the data, as it represents practices and efficiencies from the year 2009. Users should also be aware that the primary aluminum (PA) data was sourced from statistical data, secondary aluminum (SA) data from literature, and background data from the CAS RCEES 2018 Chinese localization LCA database. Adjustments may be needed to reflect current practices or local conditions. It is also essential to understand the geographical context (China) and adapt the data accordingly when applying it to other regions. |
