This paper examines the effect of scrap levels on the energy to produce steel ingot either by the blast furnace/basic oxygen furnace route or in the electric arc furnace. The energy requirement to collect and treat steel scrap is calculated and used in the computation of system energies for steel ingot production
This paper calculates, for the first time, the energy required to manufacture vitrified clay pipes and fittings. The analysis traces all operations from the extraction of raw materials from the ground through to packing the finished components for dispatch to the customer. The production of polypropylene couplings, used for joining pipes in drainag...
This paper calculates the energy and raw materials required to produce glass containers in the U.K. in 1977 from raw materials in the ground. It is shown that the average energy requirement is 21.9 ± 4.2 MJ per kg of saleable glass produced. The detailed breakdown of this overall energy by fuel type and by contributing operation is also given. It i...
This paper calculates the energy and raw materials required to produce tinplate and tin-free steel in the United Kingdom in 1978/79. The production sequence is traced from raw materials in the ground through to finished sheet. The gross energy requirement for the production of tinplate is shown to be 49.79 MJ/kg and that for tin-free steel is 42.86...
This paper calculates both the energy and raw materials requirements of aluminium production in the United Kingdom in 1976, tracing the production sequence from raw materials in the ground through to ingot. The gross energy requirement for the production of primary aluminium ingot is shown to be 308.31 MJ/kg and a detailed breakdown by fuel type an...
The data necessary for the quantitative analysis of energy and raw materials requirements for the manufacture and use of beverage containers are discussed. This is an invaluable reference source to workers in the field of energy analysis as it provides detailed energy requirements for the production of a large number of different container systems....
A comprehensive summary of the energy and materials requirements of the beverage container and packaging industry is presented. Information available to the industry for the first time is given and a quantitative picture of many significant industrial sectors is provided. Contains original reports presented to the UK Government's Waste Advisory Cou...

... It is therefore widely believed that co-movements exist between electricity prices and electrolytic aluminum prices in the China's electrolytic aluminum industry. That is, a rising trend in electricity prices can match a similar trend in electrolytic aluminum prices, which was, however, not supported by the case of China (Boustead and Hancock, 1981;Reynolds, 1986;Paulus and Borggrefe, 2011). During the last decade, four large price adjustments have been observed in China's electricity sector, resulting in ever-rising electricity prices (He et al., 2015), but electrolytic aluminum prices did not respond accordingly. ...
... • El impacto de las instalaciones, plantas y edificaciones así como de la actividad humana involucrada se desestiman en primer lugar porque no tienen un porcentaje distintivo sobre los otros impactos [31], y en segundo lugar porque es difícil atribuirlos a un solo producto [2]. ...
... Gross Energy Requirement (GER) and Global Warming Potential (GWP) were the two environmental factors used in the adopted methodology to determine the environmental impact. The GWP measures the climatic change in terms of kilograms of equivalent emitted CO 2 , whereas the GER gives an estimate of the life cycle energy drawn from the earth's crust (Boustead and Hancock, 1979;Eggleston Hs et al., 2006). Materials that have been recycled hold negative GWP and GER, which means that they have a net positive impact on the environment, mitigate global warming, and reduce energy consumption. ...
