This form is used to collect Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) data. This data provides the most comprehensive survey of inputs and outputs for primary aluminium production processes. The IAI Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) & Impact Assessment, is undertaken every 5 years and is a valuable resource to life cycle practitioners, ...
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 ...
