Why China’s Aluminum Industry May Have Reached Peak CO2
- •China's aluminum industry CO2 emissions likely peaked in 2024, driven by structural shifts in production location and methods, rather than production collapse or a single policy.
- •This trend indicates a significant decarbonization pathway for a major industrial sector, implying a shift towards cleaner energy sources or more efficient processes for large power consumers.
- •For developers and IPPs, this signals evolving energy demand profiles and potential opportunities in regions where industrial loads are shifting to leverage lower-carbon power generation.
