Purpose The goal of this paper is to describe the life cycle inventory (LCI) approach to steel produced by ArcelorMittal’s Basic Oxygen Furnace (AMBOF) in Kraków, Poland. The present LCI is representative for the reference year 2005 by application of PN-EN ISO 14040:2009 (PN-EN ISO 2009). The system boundaries were labeled as gate-to-gate (covering a full chain process of steel production). The background input and output data from the basic oxygen furnace (BOF) steelmaking process has been inventoried as follows: pig iron, scrap, slag forming materials (CaO), ferroalloys, Al, carbon and graphite carburizer (material for carburization of steel), isolating powder, consumption of energy and fuels including natural gas, blast furnace gas and coke oven gas, electric energy, steam, air, oxygen, industrial water and heat, emission of air pollutants, waste, internal transport and land use. Results With regard to 1,677,987 Mg of steel produced by AMBOF, the consumption of natural gas, blast furnace gas and coke oven gas amounted to 10,671,997, 755,094 and 13,222,537.6 m3/year, respectively. Electric energy, steam, air, oxygen and heat input amounts were in the order of 45,003,611.3 kWh, 21,646.03 Mg, 107,592,526 m.
