Asia-Pacific Partners account for
37 per cent of the world’s aluminium production. The aluminium industry is
one of the fastest growing sectors, with rapid growth in developing
countries.
The industry can make further improvements in environmental performance,
while reducing costs, through best practice use of existing equipment (in
particular perfluorocarbons (PFC) emissions management), increased uptake
of best available and affordable technology (including improved
instrumentation), the continued development and deployment of new
technologies, and by increasing levels of recycling. Through the
Partnership, countries can advance industries towards global PFC reduction
objectives and address energy efficiency and other CO2 process emissions
by promoting best practice performance, increasing technical support and
identifying impediments to deployment of best available and affordable
technology.
Objectives
-
Enhance current aluminium
production processes through uptake of best - practice use of existing
equipment.
-
Advance the development and
deployment of new best practice aluminium production process and
technologies across Partnership economies.
-
Enhance sector-related data,
including recycling and performance.
-
Facilitate increased aluminium
recycling rates across the Partnership.
