RUSAL, one of the world's largest aluminium producers, has verified the carbon footprint of its products, reaffirming its status as a leading global low-carbon aluminium producer. TÜV AUSTRIA Standards & Compliance, one of the world's foremost providers of certification, testing, inspection, and verification services, conducted the independent verification of greenhouse gas emissions.

The analysis confirmed that 100 per cent of RUSAL's metal meets the low-carbon aluminium (LCA) benchmark of less than 4 t CO2/t within Scopes 1&2, aligning with benchmarks from leading international analytical agencies such as Fastmarkets and S&P Global. Additionally, in 2023, RUSAL improved the full-scope carbon footprint of its LCA brand ALLOW to 5.9 tons of CO2 equivalent per ton of metal, down from 6.1 tonnes the previous year.

This remarkable achievement is primarily due to the use of renewable energy sources, especially hydropower, to power RUSAL's production facilities and an extensive modernisation program for aluminium smelters. The program includes the renewal of electrolysers, transition to pre-baked anode technology, installation of new gas emissions treatment facilities, and improvements in air monitoring systems. In 2023 alone, RUSAL retrofitted 309 electrolysers across its smelters. The modernisation of alumina assets, which significantly contribute to the carbon footprint of the final product, is also a key focus.
