Iron Ore

• Data is presented from the mine perspective; providing a like-for-like comparison of assets, using carefully defined supply chain system boundaries
• Physical production parameters are presented, including ore mined, ore grades and strip ratios
• Includes mines producing ore for the non-seaborne market, for comparison 
• Users can input their own assumptions for freight distances, iron ore sales destination and vessel emission factors

Emission data is presented as total tonnes of CO₂e and kilograms of CO₂e per tonne of contained iron production.

For iron ore, E₀ and E₁ emissions are defined as follows: 

E₀: Scope 1 and 2 emissions relating to the mine site.

E₁: E₀ plus emissions from iron ore freight to port of delivery.
