Since the 1980s, the aluminum industry in China has made the most significant progress in two aspects. One is the annual output of primary aluminum that has continuously risen from roughly 400,000 tons in 1983 to 40.21 million tons in 2022, accounting for 58.8% of the total annual global output. ...
Report on the Aluminium Industry’s Global Perfluorocarbon Gases Emissions. Published annually by the International Aluminium Institute – the anode effect report with 2019 data is now available. The report shows a 40% global decrease in PFC emissions (CO2e) per tonne of production since 2006 and a 90% reduction since 1990. ...
This report presents the findings from the CM Group’s comprehensive assessment of aluminium usage in China’s auto industry. Over the period to 2030, China’s automotive sector is likely to undergo a substantial transformation, shifting from Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs) toward New Energy Vehicles (NEVs). As a material of choice amongst ...
Used to calculate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions savings through the light-weighting of passenger cars. First published in 2014, this Excel-based calculator, developed by a group of aluminium and automotive industry experts, is the product of more than ten years of collaboration between European Aluminium and the IAI, with support from ...
Report on the Aluminium Industry’s Global Perfluorocarbon Gases Emissions. Published annually by the International Aluminium Institute – you can view reports dating from 2015 – 2019 here (download opens a zip file).
...Used to collect global perfluorocarbon (PFC) data. The outcome of this data collection is published annually in the Anode Effect Survey Report which details the sector’s global PFC emissions.
...The IKE model developed in this study is the most transparent provincialised model for Chinese power grid available at this time. This study outlines the development of a life-cycle model of Chinese grid power at a national level, further developed at regional and provincial levels to better assess the cradle-to-gate ...
The reduction of the weight of transport vehicles is one way to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions. This study commissioned by the IAI and supported by European Aluminium addresses the current political targets and societal voices’ call for a substantial reduction in energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from ...
This study assesses the water footprint of hydropower plants with a significant contribution to the electricity supply of aluminium smelters. After agriculture, hydropower is considered to be the next largest water-consuming sector, largely due to evaporation (EV) from the reservoir surface. This study looks at the water footprint of hydropower ...
Reducing the weight of transportation vehicles is an important method of improving fuel efficiency – reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The 20 million tonnes of aluminium used in transport today could save 400 million tonnes CO2 and over 100 billion litres of crude oil over the vehicles’ life. ...
