Use advice for data set
When using this data for Life Cycle Assessment, users should ensure that they consider the specific context of their application, such as geographical relevance and technological matching. The data set accounts for all inputs and outputs of the primary aluminum production process; however, depending on the scope of the study, users may need to adjust inventory results to reflect specific aspects of end-use or regional environmental impacts. Moreover, since the provided data is from the year 2010, users should take note of any potential changes in technology, efficiency, and environmental regulations that have occurred since then, which could affect the accuracy and relevancy of the data for current assessments.

Technical purpose
The primary aluminum ingot produced through this industrial process is intended for various downstream applications, including but not limited to construction, transportation (particularly in the automotive and aerospace sectors), packaging, and electrical industries due to its lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and conductive properties. The process data may particularly be relevant for manufacturers and stakeholders involved in these sectors for material sourcing and production planning.
