Low-carbon aluminium as a solution for sustainable construction and renovation

Low-carbon aluminium as a solution for sustainable construction – with RUSAL

Aluminium is an essential construction material due to its strength, durability, low weight and ductility. But, with traditional aluminium production accounting for 4-5% of global electricity demand and its production forecast to more than double by 2050, it is essential that the construction sector find sustainable alternatives.

Low-carbon aluminium is primary aluminium made with renewable energy. Its use can reduce embodied carbon in construction projects significantly, in one case study by up to one fifth.

What you can expect to learn from this 60-minute webinar:

• The carbon impact of traditional primary aluminium
• How low-carbon aluminium can provide a solution for new buildings and retrofits
• Role low-carbon aluminium can play as a solution for manufacturers
• The role of low-carbon aluminium in certification credits and compliance
• The challenges of low-carbon aluminium production (RUSAL)
• Low-carbon aluminium carbon footprint transparency and accountability (RUSAL)
