A RUSAL official said low-carbon and recycled aluminum could help Azerbaijan’s construction sector reduce lifecycle costs and carbon emissions. The company noted that aluminum’s lightweight, durability and recyclability are driving wider use in buildings and municipal infrastructure. RUSAL’s ALLOW low-carbon aluminum brand produces more than 3 million tones annually using Siberian hydropower, with emissions of about 5.9 tCO2e per tone, well below the global industry average. The company added that aluminum can be infinitely recycled after building decommissioning, supporting circular economy and low-carbon urban development.
