aluminium
Canada ranks among the top five producers in the world while having the lowest carbon footprint.
Our industry is evolving in a market shaped by the globalization of the world economy. The production of primary aluminium does not depend on its geographical position and can therefore be developed in any region. Certain factors are nevertheless decisive in ensuring the profitability of production, in particular accessibility to vast energy resources offering a predictable and constant supply.
With more than 100 years of history, Canada is positioned among the top five producers in the world and has the lowest carbon footprint of any region. Thanks to its hydroelectric supply and technological development efforts, Canada is the place in the world where primary aluminium production has the least impact on climate change. Our sector remains a leader in its market while having a structuring effect on the Canadian economy.
