At the moment there doesn't seem to be an emisson factor for secondary aluminium, would this be correct? Only for the sorting of aluminium scrap, but this does not include transport, remelting, etc. to produce ingots of secondary aluminium for industrial use.
Hi there, I happen to have the same question with Kaye. Any answers?
Hi Kaye and Lospu,
Thank you for your question. Please have a look at the poste written on 16.05.2019 by Lucia Valsasina which explains the aluminium recycling processes in the cut off system model very nicely. From your question, I assume that you are interested in the cut off system model. If you are using a different system model, please have a look here for more information.
I hope this answers your question.
