Emission intensity of aluminium. Retrieved from Sustamize v3.2.0. For further information refer to https://docs.sustamizer.com/assets/ilcd-docs/V3.2.0/materials/elements/657ba36a-5482-4f0f-8206-194f88ebf5d5.xml.

Emission intensity of aluminium - Other Asia. This data has been derived from the world aluminium LCA's. They have produced LCA reports for Europe North America and worldwide aluminium. Modelled at worldwide average scrap input of 31% to avoid market distortions. Modelled with 25.6% extrusions 55.7% rolled and 18.7% castings. The source does not clarify if the kgCO2e value is calculated using either IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) or IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) methodologies.

Emission intensity of aluminium - Japan. This data has been derived from the world aluminium LCA's. They have produced LCA reports for Europe North America and worldwide aluminium. Modelled at worldwide average scrap input of 31% to avoid market distortions. Modelled with 25.6% extrusions 55.7% rolled and 18.7% castings. The source does not clarify if the kgCO2e value is calculated using either IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) or IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) methodologies.

Emission intensity of aluminium - china. This data has been derived from the world aluminium LCA's. They have produced LCA reports for Europe North America and worldwide aluminium. Modelled at worldwide average scrap input of 31% to avoid market distortions. Modelled with 25.6% extrusions 55.7% rolled and 18.7% castings. Module D = -10.25 kg CO2e per unit. EOL recovery rate of 83% based upon worldwide global aluminium flow model and for the building and construction sector. With a 2% material loss yield on the scrap recovered. The source does not clarify if the kgCO2e value is calculated using the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) or IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) or IPCC Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) methodologies.

Emission intensity of aluminium - produced in Europe. This data has been derived from the world aluminium LCA's. They have produced LCA reports for Europe North America and worldwide aluminium. Modelled at worldwide average scrap input of 31% to avoid market distortions. This entry doesn’t consider aluminium imported into Europe. The aluminium must be made in Europe. Modelled with 25.6% extrusions 55.7% rolled and 18.7% castings. The source does not clarify if the kgCO2e value is calculated using either IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) or IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) methodologies.

Emission intensity of aluminium - Oceania. This data has been derived from the world aluminium LCA's. They have produced LCA reports for Europe North America and worldwide aluminium.
