Use advice for data set When utilizing this data set for life cycle assessment, it is essential to consider the specific quality and composition of the hot metal produced. Users should account for regional variations in raw material quality, energy sources used in the process, and any emissions controls in place. Additionally, if the end-of-life recycling of the steel products is considered, the allocation of impacts between the primary production and recycling should be clearly stated, as this can significantly affect the results.

Data set use approval
