  THE GOAL It is a desire of the international community to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with societal climate goals as much as possible; therefore, given its high volumes of emissions, the world industry is currently facing great challenges to adapt to this global clamour. THE CHALLENGE But how big is the challenge facing humanity? In accordance with the United Nations Organization , which promulgated The Sustainable Development Goals (Video https://youtu.be/0XTBYMfZyrM ) established Climate Actions as the GOAL 13 , declaring: The world must transform its energy, industry, transport, food, agriculture and forestry systems to ensure that we can limit global temperature rise to well below 2°C .

  THE GOAL It is a desire of the international community to reduce , as much as possible,  greenhouse gas emissions in line with society's climate objectives as much as possible; therefore, given the high volumes of CO 2 emissions from the Aluminium Industry , this important sector industry faces great challenges to adapt to this global clamour . THE CHALLENGE But how big is the challenge facing the Aluminium Industry in terms of its obligation to support the fight against climate change? According to the International Aluminium Institute , the sector is responsible for 1.1 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions per annum, and must undertake a plan to substantially reduce its carbon footprint. Aluminium Sector Greenhouse Gas Pathways to 2050 - International Aluminium Institute This reality in turn faces the challenge that as a consequence of the electro-intensive nature of primary aluminium production , and the majority use of electricity generated from fossil fuels, 90% o
