Description
Short description:
Explores energy use in primary and secondary material production and their GHG implications.
Long description:
This module introduces the primary material production processes with an emphasis on energy intensity and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Focusing particularly on steel, learners explore the inputs and energy demands of transforming iron ore and scrap into usable materials. The module compares primary and secondary production, explains how secondary material content affects energy use, and introduces key variables like forming yield and process efficiency. Learners assess the implications of material production for lifecycle emissions in vehicle manufacturing.
What you will learn
- Analyze energy intensity of primary steel production and its connection to GHG emissions.
- Compare primary and secondary material production processes in terms of energy demand.
- Explain the role of recycled content in reducing energy intensity during material production.
- Identify key material production variables (e.g., forming yield, rCONT) impacting environmental footprint.
- Evaluate how production-phase material inputs affect total vehicle lifecycle emissions.
