Use advice for data set Users of this LCA data set should ensure that they are applying it to scenarios appropriate for the metallurgical grade aluminum production. The primary aluminum (PA) and secondary aluminum (SA) data shall be considered based on statistical and literature sources respectively. It is critical to utilize the background data from the Chinese localization LCA database CAS RCEES 2018 accurately. Users should take care to apply the data consistently with the technological scope being modeled and pay special attention to methodological choices regarding the inclusion or exclusion of recycling impacts in the LCA model. The vintage of the data (2010) should be taken into account when assessing the relevance and accuracy for current applications.
