Use advice for data set | Users of this LCA data should note that the data set relies on the most recent and representative information from 2015, sourced from the International Aluminium Institute (IAI). When incorporating this data into assessments or models, consider the technological applicability as it pertains to global aluminum production standards. Be aware that inputs and background processes contributing less than 1% to the total input mass were not considered due to data availability. Users should ensure consistency by sourcing additional data from comparable years and institutions when necessary. Pay attention to the methodological advice provided and the consistent technological parameters that have been outlined for primary aluminum production. |
Technical purpose of product or process | This liquid primary aluminum produced via prebaked aluminum electrolysis is intended for use in metallurgical processes. It is typically utilized as a raw material for creating an array of aluminum-based products in various industries, from construction through automotive to packaging. |

Data selection and combination principles | For reliable findings, the most recent and representative data were considered. Regional or country-specific data were used when provided in the GaBi© “professional and extension” database (SP 39) or in the literature. If location-specific data were not found, either comparable data for the country or global data were used. For consistency, data from the same source and year were used if available. Due to data availability, the study did not consider some inputs and background processes if they contributed less than 1% to the total input mass. For primary aluminium production, this study used the most recent LCI data from 2015 provided by the International Aluminium Institute (IAI) (International Aluminium Institute, 2017b). IAI data were used because the IAI is an established institute that considers primary aluminium production worldwide and the data were used in studies e.g. from the Aluminium Association and from the European Aluminium Association (Aluminum Association, 2013; European Aluminium Association, 2018). In terms of the LCA data of standardized primary aluminium production, only few uncertainties occurred. Generally, the composition of these data could be fully explained and reconstructed. | ||||
