Use advice for data set When using this LCA data set, users should ensure the temporal and geographical relevance of the data to their specific project or assessment. Since the PA data originates from statistical sources and SA data from literature, users should consider their applicability and update them as necessary for present conditions. The background data from the CAS RCEES 2018 LCA database requires careful consideration regarding its alignment with the modeled system, especially in terms of energy, materials, transportation, and waste management. Users should also reference the publication date to evaluate the current relevance of the data and consider whether newer data sources are necessary for accurate impact modeling.
Technical purpose of product or process The LCA data for bauxite mining and alumina production processes described are intended for use in environmental impact assessments of aluminum production chains. The primary application of this data is to model the environmental implications of extracting bauxite and converting it into alumina, which is a key intermediate in the production of aluminum metal. The data set can be used by industries and researchers focusing on the aluminum industry to understand and improve the sustainability of their production processes.
