Life cycle models information

Key Data Set Information
Name	Base name ; Treatment, standards, routes ; Mix and location types ; Functional Unit Continuous casting hot rolling method
General comment on data set	The traditional long process involves casting molten aluminum into ingots, subjecting them to homogenization annealing, and then heating them to high temperatures for multiple passes of hot rolling to gradually form plates or foil blanks.

Commissioner of data set	TianGong Think Tank
Intended applications	The data from this process are intended for the carbon footprint accounting and environmental impact assessment of the entire life cycle of aluminum products. It is applicable to scientific research, policy studies, and green assessment projects of enterprises. It can be used in environmental sustainability research such as life cycle assessment (LCA), product carbon footprint (CFP), and green supply chain management, and serves to support the formulation of low-carbon transformation and carbon reduction paths in the industry.
