Name
Primary aluminum production ; Automotive-China General Motors ; Bauxite
Use advice for data set Users of this data set should pay attention to the fact that the LCI (Life Cycle Inventory) results are based on the specific practices and inputs predominantly used in China, reflecting the local energy mix, technology, and environmental regulations. Aspects such as the recyclability of aluminum, specific emission factors for China, and the technology used in aluminum production should be considered when applying this data. If used for comparative purposes, users should ensure that the other datasets involved in the analysis are compatible in scope and regional context.
Technical purpose of product or process The primary aluminum produced via the electrolyze process in China as described by this data set is intended for automotive applications, specifically for vehicles produced by China General Motors. This high purity aluminum can be utilized in manufacturing various automotive components such as engine blocks, transmission housings, body panels, wheels, and structural parts due to its lightweight and strong characteristics.
