Use advice for data set When using the dataset related to the mining of REE containing ore, ensure that your life cycle assessment considers the specific environmental impacts associated with surface mining techniques, such as drilling and blasting. Account for the high ore grade of 4.1% REO in resource depletion calculations, and apply the dataset consistently for products that require rare earth elements. Pay attention to technological shifts that might alter the process efficiency or environmental impact. Review the detailed LCI, assumptions, and allocation choices in the supporting information of the data set to ensure data quality and representativeness.
