Geographical: The LCA analysis is made based on two plants (50/50 Hämeenlinna and Pulkkila) because their manufacturing is estimated to be equal with the other three production sites, as the manufacturing process is equal as well as the raw materials are. The hot rolled coil used in both plants comes from the SSAB Raahe steel factory.SSAB uses Nordic electricity mix in production in Finland. Electricity mix used for modeling the production is Finnish to meet the additional Norwegian requirements, stating that the mix used in modelling shall be based on the mix of primary fuels used in the country where the product is manufactured. Therefore, it does not necessarily represent the actual electricity mix utilized in SSAB production.Technological: Data represent the technology in use. SSAB uses the best available technology in all production and manufacturing sites. SSAB holds valid environmental permits in all units.
