More expansive use of recycled aluminum, new smelting technologies, and green electricity can reduce emissions from aluminum production by about 73 percent from their current levels while also reducing production costs.
Automobile manufacturing could further reduce its current emissions if manufacturers increase production of relatively carbon-intensive components such battery cells in low-carbon power grids.
