Dear Ecoinvent team,

today, there is not dataset for the deep drawing process of aluminium available in Ecoinvent. Would it be possible to include this process in the future?

Thank you Lucia!

it would also be great to have an update for the production of primary aluminium, according the most recent LCA report by the EAA

Dear Bernhard, 

 

We collaborate with the International Aluminium Institute to include updated data for aluminium production across all regions. The latest survey was conducted in 2016 for 2015 data. A new update should be coming soon. We are of course also in cotact with the European Association, that contributed also to the different updates of the aluminium supply chain done after the latest overall data update.

 

Best regards,
