Transforming Aluminium

Driving forwards clean aluminium | critical factors

Clean electricity consumption in aluminium production
Decarbonising direct emissions throughout the aluminium production process
Increasing recycling of post-consumer aluminium scrap
Improved material and resource efficiency

Global burden of aluminium production

Industry-endorsed strategy

In 2022 we developed an Aluminium Sector Transition Strategy in collaboration with a diverse set of industry leaders. This provides a shared vision for a clean aluminium future, modelling of pathways, real economy milestones and the industry, policy and finance actions required to get there. Assumptions have not been updated since publication, but the STS still represents a quantitative reference point.
