Use advice for data set
Users of this LCA data should note that the dataset is representative of alumina production for the metallurgy of primary aluminium as of 2015, following data from the International Aluminium Institute (IAI). It covers the unit process (singular operation) and accounts for inputs and background processes contributing to at least 1% of the total input mass. When applying this data, acknowledge that some inputs and processes may have been excluded due to their minimal contribution. Take care to use the data within its intended context, specifically in modeling the environmental impacts of primary aluminium production. Reconciliation with newer data is advised when available to account for technological and methodological advances.
