Emission factor summary

Emission intensity of aluminium general - 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. Modelled with 25.6% extrusions 55.7% rolled and 18.7% castings. Based upon European production and the import of aluminium consumed in Europe. Module D = -3.13 kg CO2e per unit. EOL recovery rate of 95% based upon DU Telft study of European 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.
