Aluminum production in the United Kingdom generated 480,100 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions in 2022. Emission levels have remained at a similar level since 2013, but have fallen considerably since 2005, when nearly four million metric tons of carbon dioxide were emitted. The UK produces roughly 150,000 metric tons of secondary aluminum annually.
