Decline in greenhouse gas emissions
Bar ohne Namen
Entschlossen verweigert sich Savage, der Bar einen Namen zu geben. Stattdessen sind drei klassische Design-Symbole das Logo der Trinkstätte in Dalston: ein gelbes Quadrat, ein rotes Viereck, ein blauer Kreis. Am meisten wurmt den sympathischen Franzosen dabei, dass es kein Gelbes-Dreieck-Emoji gibt. Das erschwert auf komische Weise die Kommunikation. Der Instagram Account lautet: a_bar_with_shapes-for_a_name und anderenorts tauchen die Begriffe ‘Savage Bar’ oder eben ‚Bauhaus Bar‘ auf.
Für den BCB bringt Savage nun sein Barkonzept mit und mixt für uns mit Unterstützung von Russian Standard Vodka an der perfekten Bar dazu.
According to new data from the International Aluminium Institute, total greenhouse gas emissions from the global aluminium sector did not increase - even though aluminium production increased worldwide.
The latest available data from 2022 shows that aluminium production increased by 3.9 per cent, from 104.1 million tonnes to 108.2 million tonnes. However, greenhouse gas emissions fell slightly, from 1.13 gigatonnes of CO2e to 1.11 gigatonnes of CO2e. The emissions intensity of primary aluminium production has also been declining since 2019, falling by 4.4 per cent in 2022.
The last time greenhouse gas emissions from the aluminium industry did not increase was in 2009 - a consequence of the global financial crisis at the time. But this decline also coincided with a fall in production.

Aluminium as key to reducing emissions
Aluminium is an important factor in reducing emissions in many sectors, from automotive and transport to construction and food and beverage packaging. Various sectors are taking advantage of this opportunity through both primary aluminium and recycled aluminium, with primary aluminium production increasing from 67.1 million tonnes in the previous year to 69 million tonnes in 2022.
Demand for aluminium is expected to continue to rise in the coming decades, as the material plays an important role in the decarbonisation of the entire economy.
The current data primarily reflects the aluminium industry's efforts to reduce its emissions intensity in production. The main challenge here is to reduce emissions and increase production at the same time. The recent trend in the figures is the result of the investments the industry has made in research, development and implementation of new technologies, innovative techniques and changes in energy supply.
“The transformation needed in the industry to meet global climate targets is much bigger than the early changes we are witnessing. Emissions reductions must be deeper, faster and more widespread, but for the first time, we can talk about heading in the right direction. If we continue to see investment and implementation of low-carbon energy sources and GHG reduction technologies, 2021 could be the year that GHG emissions from the aluminium industry peaked,” says IAI Secretary General Miles Prosser.
