By 2050, the cumulative emissions from the quantity of aluminum extracted and processed worldwide for energy technologies is forecast to amount to *** 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.
