Baotou Aluminum's refined aluminum ingots for remelting passed the national "carbon footprint" certification

Recently, after strict verification and certification by the China Quality Certification Center, Baotou Aluminum's refined aluminum ingots for remelting have a carbon footprint of 10.91 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent per kilogram of product, and the system boundary is "cradle to gate", which meets the national green product emission requirements. As a result, Baotou Aluminum was awarded the "Product Carbon Footprint Certificate", which is valid for two years.

It is reported that "carbon footprint" is a term used to describe the greenhouse gas emissions produced by a specific activity or entity. The carbon footprint in the product life cycle is very important to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Starting from the "Twelfth Five-Year" National Climate Change Technology Development Plan, my country has put forward specific requirements for green and low-carbon development goals and "carbon footprint certification" In the "13th Five-Year" special plan, relevant requirements have been further refined. At present, more and more companies in various fields have carried out "carbon footprint" assessment and certification.

Baotou Aluminum is currently a domestic enterprise that uses segregation purification to produce refined aluminum ingots. The production process of segregation method has low energy consumption and no pollution. It is widely used in electronic aluminum foil, high-end automobile parts, military industry, aerospace and other industries and fields. Baotou Aluminum's refined aluminum products are sold throughout the country and exported to Europe, America, Japan and other places. Has been highly recognized by users.

Baotou Aluminum has organized and promoted the "carbon footprint" evaluation of refined aluminum ingots for remelting since March this year. In accordance with the requirements of the China Quality Certification Center, the company has conducted professional training for relevant personnel, and compiled various production capacity consumption data and related information of refined aluminum ingots for remelting in 2019. In accordance with the relevant rules of ISO14067 and PAS2050, combined with the use of solar and wind energy in Baotou Aluminum, the certifier has conducted a serious and strict verification of the production capacity consumption of the refined aluminum ingots used by the enterprise for remelting, the calculation of greenhouse gas emissions, and the production site. Carbon footprint value of refined aluminum ingots per kilogram of carbon dioxide equivalent.

Obtained the "Product Carbon Footprint Certificate" and affixed a green label to the refined aluminum ingots used for remelting Baotou Aluminum, which improved product quality credibility, further enhanced the market competitiveness of refined aluminum products, and achieved green and high-quality development for the company Has a positive meaning.
