China's Aluminum Output Rises, but Emissions May Still Be Peaking
Key Takeaways
- China's aluminum output rose to 45.02 million tonnes in 2025, up 2.4% from 2024, and continued to grow in 2026.
- Despite rising production, emissions may still peak due to falling emissions per tonne.
- Clean energy supplied about 25% of energy for electrolytic aluminum in 2024, with a target of 30% by 2027.
- Efficiency improvements and renewable energy adoption are key to decoupling output from emissions.
