Use advice for data set When using this LCA data set, it is crucial to adhere to the established system boundaries and cut-off criteria. Specifically, the LCI data coverage should account for at least 95% of the mass and energy inputs and outputs. Users should note that the inventory data for capacitor production is region-specific, sourced from a factory in Jiangsu Province, China. In modeling use-phase behavior and end-of-life scenarios for the capacitors, the inaccessible data for certain chemicals are estimated from chemical equations within the Gabi software using existing materials. The reference year for the energy profile of the Chinese electricity grid is 2016, and for aluminum ingot production, it is 2015. Any updates to the grid mix or technological improvements in aluminum production should be considered to ensure the data's relevancy. |
