Global Life Cycle Inventory Data for the Primary Aluminium Industry

This Global Life Cycle Inventory Data for the Primary Aluminium Industry report is an update for data year 2010, following similar reports for 2000 and 2005. It has been prepared with an objective to collect all significant life cycle inventory (LCI) data (raw materials and energy use, emissions to air and water and solid waste generated) on primary aluminium ingot production from bauxite ore at the global level. This 2010 report is the reference material for aluminium environmental assessments and its use is to be considered as mandatory for life cycle practitioners. The Excel dataset is available on the website under publications.
