Aluminum Week: Abundant Clean Energy, New Tech Key to Aluminum Decarbonization by 2050
The Aluminum Association released a new report developed in collaboration with environmental consultant ICF highlighting potential strategies to dramatically reduce carbon emissions in the North American (United States and Canada) aluminum industry by mid-century. TL;DR version … Achieving Net Zero by 2050 goals would require the North American industry to reduce emissions by 92% by 2050 — a period during which output is projected to increase by around 80%. Meeting such aggressive emissions reductions targets will require an all-of-society approach to decarbonization.
