Use advice for data set Users of this data set should be aware that the methodology reflects the specific technology and practices of the electric arc furnace at the 'Z6 Plant.' It is crucial to ensure that the data is applied to LCA studies within the appropriate technological and geographical context. Any comparison with other steelmaking processes should consider process efficiencies, input materials quality, and regional energy mixes. Recycling inputs and outputs of the system should also be considered in the analysis, when relevant. The assumptions and limitations inherent to the data set, such as the age of the data and representativeness for global or specific regions, must be considered during interpretation and application in LCA modeling.
Technical purpose of product or process The described process is involved in the production of crude steel using an electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking method, which primarily utilizes hot metal or scrap steel as feed material. This particular data set applies to unit processes in a facility referred to as 'Z6 Plant.' The data is intended to represent the use of electric arc furnace steelmaking in producing crude steel, which can then undergo further processing into finished steel products. These finished steel products are used in various applications such as construction, automotive, appliances, and infrastructure.
