Carbon reduction potential based on life cycle assessment of China’s aluminium industry-a perspective at the province level

The aluminium industry, with its traditionally high energy consumption, high emissions and high pollution, is facing increasing pressure to reduce carbon emissions in China. Implementing effective policies and measures to promote carbon emissions reduction is of great importance. This study deploys the life cycle assessment (LCA) method to explore carbon emissions and CO2 sources from aluminium manufacturing in China as well as a scenario...
