Emission intensity of steel - section. worldsteel 2023 study. A steel section rolled on a hot rolling mill. Steel Sections include I-beams H-beams wide-flange beams and sheet piling. It can be found on the market for direct use. This product is used in construction multi-story buildings industrial buildings bridge trusses vertical highway supports and riverbank reinforcement. System expansion was used on the steel e.g. for blast furnace slag and other co-products. The influence of system expansion to the GWP for steel products is 3 to 7% lower GWP. Contact Worldsteel for more information. At an EOL recovery rate of 85%. Module D impact of -0.2 kg CO2e per kg ('-' magnitude is a benefit '+' magnitude a burden). This gives a net life cycle inc Mod D of 1.41 kg CO2e per kg. 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.
