Emission factor summary

Emission intensity of aluminium - China. 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. 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.
