An industry association with Beijing's support, which commenced its certification of low-carbon aluminium in June, anticipates accrediting approximately 2.75 million tonnes as low-carbon this year. This volume equals around 7 per cent of the total industry production and is projected to increase to 4 million tonnes by 2024.
China stands as the predominant global producer of aluminium, a manufacturing process known for its significant environmental impact due to its substantial electricity consumption. In China, this electricity generation predominantly relies on coal, although the industry has been progressively transitioning towards greater utilization of hydropower and other renewable energy sources.
