RMI at CRU World Aluminum Conference 2024

RMI aluminum experts will attend the World Aluminum Conference 2024 to meet with industry leaders and provide guidance for decarbonization strategies across the industry. RMI’s Wenjuan Liu and Hylla Barbosa are addressing GHG emissions and a climate-aligned aluminum sector in a panel and an interactive session at the conference.

Panel Discussion
May 14, 2:30-3:30 GMT
GHG emissions — methods, guidance, tools, and future alignment

At the current rate, the aluminum sector will have used up its net zero carbon budget in 10-15 years. This expert panel will explore ways in which companies all along the value chain (aluminum producers *and* consumers) can drive the change required to meet a 1.5°C degree future, as well as enablers of and barriers to that change.
