By 2050, the cumulative emissions from the quantity of aluminum extracted and processed worldwide for energy technologies is forecast to amount to 845 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, under the two degree scenario. Several mineral commodities are necessary for the technologies that will enable the energy transition in the years to come, but their own environmental footprints pose a considerable setback to climate change mitigation.
