Carbon Emission Calculation Method for Automated Melt-Casted Aluminium Production Considering Global Power Consumption

Abstract:

In automated melt-casted Aluminium production process, lots of carbon dioxides are emitted. How to accurately calculate those carbon emissions is a challenging problem. In this paper, we mainly introduce a carbon emission calculation method based on global power consumption for the automated melt-casted Aluminium production process. Firstly, we analyse the carbon life cycle of the melt-casted Aluminium products and the carbon emission calculation boundary. Then, the power consumption based-calculation method of the carbon emissions of different stages of the melt-casted Aluminium product are explained in detail and finally, the total emissions are offered. The simulation results indicate that the global power consumption based-carbon emission calculation method works well in the automated melt-casted Aluminium product process.
