LCA: Scenarios and additional technical information

The following information describe the scenarios in the different modules of the EPD.

The scenario for transport distances and transportation modes from suppliers to manufacturer represents both recorded and
calculated routes and distances from factory gate from supplier in Europe to port in Norway.

Transport of raw materials (A1)

Type Capacity utilisation (incl. return) Type of vehicle Distance km Fuel/Energy Value
% consumption (l/t)
Truck 85 Euro 5, 28t payload 911 0,015 l/tkm 13,8
Rail 40 N/A 704 9,11E-04 l/tkm 0,642
Transport in A1 describes the transports of steel between steelworks and further processing through CNC milling.

Transport from suppliers to producer (A2)

Type Capacity utilisation (incl. return) Type of vehicle Distance km Fuel/Energy Value
% consumption (l/t)
Bulk commodity carrier 48 1500 DWT, EU LFO 1115 0,014 l/tkm 15,4
Transport in A2 describes shipping of products from port in Europe to Norway via Rotterdam.

Transport from Ferrometall to customer/site is not taken into account in this environmental product declaration. For an estimation
of impacts in A4, please refer to the fuel consumption information on module A1 and use a suiting characterization factor to
convert fuel consumption to environmental impact for a specified distance.

LCA: Results

The results shows that the most significant impacts comes from the production of steel, given in A1. The steel is shipped from
Europe to port in Norway, giving a moderate impact in A2. Module A3 includes deloading and expediting of goods from a forklift,
cold storage and heating of offices as well as deloading with a crane.
