Use advice for data set
When utilizing this dataset for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of aluminum products, users should consider the origin and transportation of bauxite as well as the energy sources used in alumina production. Recycling processes for aluminum should be considered, as they significantly affect the overall environmental impact. It is important to note that transportation assumptions made in this dataset may differ from real-world scenarios and should be updated or verified against current local conditions. Energy intensities for end-use processes should be based on the latest available data to reflect ongoing technological advances and efficiency gains.
