USITC Releases USTR-Requested Report on U.S. Aluminum and Steel Emissions Intensities | United States International Trade Commission

US-based U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) released a report requested by the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) calculating the greenhouse gas emissions intensities of U.S. steel and aluminum industries. The report provides detailed emissions intensity estimates for various steel and aluminum products, highlighting the production pathways and material inputs that influence these intensities. The findings show significant differences in emissions based on production methods and material use, with primary unwrought aluminum having the highest emissions intensity due to its energy requirements. The report does not make policy recommendations but provides factual findings and analyses.
