BMW Group plans to significantly reduce CO2 emissions by using low-carbon Canadian aluminum in its vehicles. The German car manufacturer intends to source aluminium with reduced CO2 emissions from Rio Tinto’s hydro-powered operations in Canada starting in 2024 and has signed a memorandum of understanding to this effect. Compared to conventionally manufactured aluminium, this approach can reduce approximately 70% of CO2 emissions.
