The International Aluminium Association (IAI) has released a new decarbonization dataset showing that carbon dioxide emissions from smelting could fall by nearly 90% from 2018 to 2050 if the industry aligns with sustainability targets.

In addition, refining emissions could drop by almost half over the same period, it said.
