Emission factor summary

Emission intensity of steel - finished cold-rolled coil. Obtained by heat treatment (annealing) and strain-hardening of cold rolled steel in a way to achieve final mechanical properties making the steel suitable for further uses (forming and bending). Finished Cold Rolled Steel includes a wide range of different steels which can be classified into the following main groups: formable steels high strength formable steels weathering structural steels structural steels hardenable steels. It can be found on the market in coil or in sheets and is further processed into finished products by the manufacturers. Finished Cold-rolled Steel features excellent forming properties electromagnetic properties paintability weldability and is suitable for fabrication by forming pressing and bending. Applications include domestic applications automotive applications lighting fixtures electrical components (stators rotors) and various kinds of sections roofing applications profiled sheets wall elements etc. Typical thickness between 0.3 - 3 mm. Typical width between 600 - 2100 mm. 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 -1.34 kg CO2e per kg ('-' magnitude is a benefit '+' magnitude a burden). This gives a net life cycle inc Mod D of 1.39 kg CO2e per kg. 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.
