Emission intensity of production of steel in Germany - from mix of oxygen and electric steel. This emission factor reflects the manufacturing effort for the provision of selected metals in Germany in 2015 (average data). Where necessary foreign shares (imports) are included. Total life cycle incl. transport + material input excl. disposal. Reference point product provision i.e. without use. Retrieved from GEMIS v5.0.
