Use advice for data set Users of this data set for Life Cycle Assessment should ensure that the scope of the analysis includes the appropriate upstream processes that produce the sinter, pellets, lump ore, and scrap, as well as downstream steel-making processes. Attention should be paid to the allocation of environmental impacts between co-products, if any. Recycling of steel scrap should be considered in the context of the end-of-life phase, and system boundaries should be clearly defined to avoid double-counting.
Technical purpose of product or process The hot metal produced in the blast furnace ironmaking process is intended for use in further steel-making processes. The input materials such as sinter, pellets, lump ore, and scrap are converted into liquid iron, commonly known as 'hot metal' or 'pig iron', which is a primary raw material for steel production in converters or electric arc furnaces.
