b'Clean vs. Dirty Aluminum:Where you source it matters!If you are not buying aluminum produced using renewable hydroelectric electricity, you might not be on Most foreign aluminum is producedtarget with your clients green initiatives.using power generated fromAluminum is a man-made material requiring massive amounts of energy to be produced. Most people see global aviation as the major contributor to COemissions, and the aviation industry is responsible carbon-rich coal or gas.2 2emissions are the result of aluminum for 6% worldwidebut approximately 3% of worldwide COproduction. Used in everything from trains, planes, boats, and cars to powerlines, appliances, electronics, and many architectural and construction materials, demand for aluminum is on the rise. How we use it matters. Or more importantly, where we get it from.The dirty truth is that most aluminum utilizes carbon-rich coal or gas to generate the electricityrequired for production. 13,000 to 18,000 kilowatt hours are required to manufacture one tonne of primary aluminumenough to power 14 homes in Canada for one month. Add overseas shipping, and it all adds up to hefty COemissions that can significantly impact our planet.2Aluminum production contributes significantly to our carbon footprint, though imported aluminum is NOTsubject to ANY carbon tax in Canadaeven though it is produced using power generated from carbon-Is YOUR aluminum clean? rich coal or gas. How is that fair to domestic manufacturers? Shouldnt a carbon tax be applied at the port of entry for imports?We have a Canadian-made solution.100% of Canadas aluminum production utilizes power generated from clean, renewable hydroelectricity, having a fraction of the COemissions compared to coal and gas.
