Reference year 2016
Name
Pellet production ; pellets ; pellets
Use advice for data set When utilizing this dataset for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), users should consider the specific technological process in question, ensuring that their LCA model reflects the energy and emissions associated with the production of pellets. Consideration should also be given to any transportation of raw materials or the final pellets. If this dataset includes upstream processes (like mining or transportation), these should be included in the boundary of the LCA. If downstream processes like steel manufacturing are not included, they should be accounted for separately in the LCA.
Technical purpose of product or process The pellets produced in this process are primarily used as a raw material for the manufacture of steel. The pellets are a type of iron ore that has been processed into a spherical shape, making them suitable for use in blast furnaces and direct reduction processes.
