General comment Specific data are used for all of Hydro's processes, based on the production year 2018, and are collected the first months of 2019 and 2020. As Hydro has ownership in a total value chain from mining of bauxite to production of aluminium extrusion ingots, all stages from A1 to A4 are covered by specific data. Background data on for instance transport and electricity production are from ecoinvent 3.4 (April 2018) The allocation is made in accordance with the provisions of EN 15804. Incoming energy and water and waste production inhouse is allocated equally among all products through mass allocation. For almost all processes, detailed data are provided for each process step, and the main allocation is between aluminium hydroxide and aluminium oxide in the production of alumina. Effects of primary production of recycled materials are allocated to the main product in which the material was used. The recycling process and transportation of the material is allocated to this analysis. All major raw materials and all the essential energy is included. The production process for raw materials and energy flows that are included with very small amounts (<1%) are not included. This cut-off rule does not apply for hazardous materials and substances, and mostly apply for alloying elements that are added in less than per thousandth.
