Nonferrous metal (except aluminum) smelting and refining

Emission intensity of aluminium cast - worldwide. 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.  Module D = -8.69 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.

Aluminum - cast alloy

Emission intensity of aluminium - cast - European Mix - Inc Imports. 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. Based upon European production and the import of aluminium consumed in Europe. Module D = -3.12 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 either IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) or IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) methodologies.
