Module 3 of 9 · A2 · Production routes and system boundaries

Overview

CBAM does not ask for your whole plant's footprint, only for emissions inside a defined system boundary. Aluminium has three: primary smelting, secondary melting, and forming products. This module shows what is in and out of each, so you monitor exactly the right sources.

You will learn

  • The three aluminium production routes.
  • Which emission sources sit inside each boundary.
  • Which processes and materials are outside.
  • How the route also decides your CBAM benchmark.
