A Life-Cycle Model of Chinese Grid Power and Application to the Aluminium Industry

Published in

2017

The IKE model developed in this study is the most transparent provincialised model for Chinese power grid available at this time.

This study outlines the development of a life-cycle model of Chinese grid power at a national level, further developed at regional and provincial levels to better assess the cradle-to-gate life cycle impacts of primary aluminium production in China.
