The increased demand for high-quality primary LCI/LCA data from downstream industries and regulatory bodies calls for consistent calculation approaches. The relevance of standardised methodologies and sector-specific guidance for the aim of consistency is clear, but practical implementation poses challenges, particularly for raw materials like aluminium, used across multiple markets. Several public and private initiatives exist (Catena-X, PACT, EN 15804, PEF, etc.) to ensure consistency and comparability of calculations. Since aluminium is one of the most widely used metals across various markets, these developments significantly impact the industry’s efforts to standardise the reporting of LCI/LCA. This paper shares the aluminium industry’s experience with these standardisation efforts, highlighting the primary challenges, lessons learned and future hurdles in achieving uniform LCA data reporting.

摘要

The increased demand for high-quality primary LCI/LCA data from downstream industries and regulatory bodies calls for consistent calculation approaches. The relevance of standardised methodologies and sector-specific guidance for the aim of consistency is clear, but practical implementation poses challenges, particularly for raw materials like aluminium, used across multiple markets. Several public and private initiatives exist (Catena-X, PACT, EN 15804, PEF, etc.) to ensure consistency and comparability of calculations. Since aluminium is one of the most widely used metals across various markets, these developments significantly impact the industry’s efforts to standardise the reporting of LCI/LCA. This paper shares the aluminium industry’s experience with these standardisation efforts, highlighting the primary challenges, lessons learned and future hurdles in achieving uniform LCA data reporting.
