WorldSteel releases lifecycle data

Factiva: "The World Steel Association has released its 2010 global steel lifecycle inventory, a database that provides information on the environmental profile of key products—including slab, hot- and cold-rolled coil, pickled hot-rolled coil, finished cold-rolled coil, hot-dip galvanized coil, electrogalvanized coil, tinplate, electrolytic-chromium-coated steel, organic coated steel, UO pipe, welded pipe, rebar, sections, plate and wire rod—it believes represent the spectrum of steel output.

The data is used to determine the environmental impact of steel-containing products, including their carbon footprints, and in studies guiding environmental standards development."
