| Abstract Scope |
The aluminum industry is responsible for 1% of global emissions, which is why it is essential to reduce Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. While the supplier is essentially held responsible for measures in the area of Scope 2 and 3 emissions, internal measures must be implemented for Scope 1. In most cases, measures with the highest CO2 savings also have the highest CAPEX and OPEX. This paper presents how CO2 savings, OPEX and CAPEX can be meaningfully related to each other in order to select the most sensible Scope 1 reduction measures. In combination with useful measures for Scope 3 emissions, a way is shown how emissions can be reduced by over 75%. |
