Data quality reference: Other info on data quality: Usage/Review information Type of parameter: 2006 IPCC default This "Global Average Factor" (65% BOF, 30% EAF, 5% OHF = default allocation of total national steel production among these three steelmaking processes) can be used in the event that activity data for steel production for each process is not available. This is a factor based on 2003 international data where BOFs accounted for approximately 63 percent of world steel production and EAFs approximately 33 percent; OHF production accounted for the remaining 4 percent but is declining.
