Steel - pickled hot-rolled coil

Emission intensity of steel - pickled hot-rolled coil. Hot rolled steel from which the iron oxides present at the surface have been removed in a pickling process. It can be found on the market in coil or in sheets and is further processed into finished products by the manufacturers. The various types of pickled hot rolled steel have applications in virtually all sectors of industry: transport construction shipbuilding gas containers pressure vessels energy pipelines etc. Typical thickness between 2 - 7 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 -1.26 kg CO2e per kg ('-' magnitude is a benefit '+' magnitude a burden). This gives a net life cycle inc Mod D of 1.16 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.
