Information

Recently, the International Aluminium Institute (IAI) released a new series of data inventory reports on the decarbonization process of the global aluminum industry ahead of the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glaston, Scotland, and proposed milestones and their refined decomposition targets for greenhouse gas emission reduction in the global aluminum industry by 2050.

The report points out that by 2050, the global aluminum industry will need to reduce its total CO2 emissions by 77% compared to 2018, with alumina and electrolytic aluminum production producing significantly less CO2. The report predicts that aluminum smelting should reduce carbon emissions by nearly 90%, from 823 million tons to 90 million tons. 670 million tons of electricity-related emissions were generated in aluminum smelting in 2018, and according to the reduction path, this figure needs to be reduced to 8 million tons by 2050. In alumina, the report predicts that the industry's greenhouse gas emissions should fall from 171 million tons in 2018 to 90 million tons in 2050, a reduction of nearly half.

At the same time, the report predicts that global demand for aluminum products will grow by about 81 percent as economic growth, urbanization and infrastructure construction increase, which also means that the aluminum industry will be under greater pressure to reduce emissions.Marlen Bertram, director of scenarios and forecasts at IAI, noted that to achieve the goal of reducing carbon emissions, the aluminum industry is making significant investments in technology and needs all members of the value chain to Commitment is needed from all members of the value chain. He added: "As one of the recycled materials on the planet, the amount of aluminum recycled is likely to increase by about 183 percent or so. Overall, according to our calculations, all initiatives to improve recycling rates and resource efficiency in the aluminum industry could achieve a 20% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to 2050 today. We believe that the aluminum industry's actions and initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its production processes and increase recycling will position it well to combat climate change and become a best practitioner in reducing carbon in the mining sector."

In March of this year, IAI released the report "Greenhouse Gas Reduction Pathways for the Global Aluminum Industry to 2050," which identifies three pathways to reduce emissions over the next 30 years, namely decarbonizing electricity, reducing direct emissions, and increasing recycling and resource efficiency.
