Abstract: "- Climate Change Mitigation: By 2050, Circular Economy strategies can save 12-14 Mt CO2-eq. emissions annually in the aluminium sector, compared to relying solely on decarbonisation strategies- Reduced Resource Dependency: They can reduce the direct input of bauxite for the EU aluminium industry by 27%- Lower Energy Demand: These strategies can also decrease the EU aluminium industry’s demand for fossil energy carriers by 9% and electricity by 22%- Higher Economic Security: The EU’s trade balance can be improved by EUR 3.6 billion through reduced imports"
