Specifiers’ Guide To IAI’s Carbon Footprint Methodology

Published in

2023

The International Aluminium Institute (IAI) has published Specifiers’ Guide To IAI’s Carbon Footprint Methodology. The guide is to ensure that declared carbon footprints reflect a ‘real’ and comprehensive footprint of products.

In 2021, The International Aluminium Institute (IAI) published Aluminium Carbon Footprint Methodology: Good Practice for Calculation of Primary Aluminium and Precursor Product Carbon Footprints, (now IAI’s Carbon Footprint Methodology), a sector-specific guidance on a recommended method for calculating product carbon footprint.

This methodology is referenced by Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) and London Metal Exchange (LME) for the calculation of carbon footprint of aluminium.
