Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is aluminium alloy production, AlLi. The Reference Product is copper, cathode. Copper, cathode is a metal. Copper is soft, malleable, and ductile with red colour and it is a transition metal. It is a direct product of the joint production of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc, or from the electrorefinery of copper anode. It is also a by-product from metal mining and alloy production activities. It is in form of sheets. It can be used in the following applications and/or processes: metal rods, wire, and casting, motors, valves, and insulated cables, variety of other products used in the automobiles, commercial buildings, residential housing, etc. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity.
