Aluminum plant in Greenland is a smart choice

Globally, carbon dioxide emissions would be between three and 12 times less if the plant were in Greenland as opposed to somewhere else on the globe.

For Greenland itself, however, the plant would double the country's carbon dioxide emissions.

The report is a ‘life cycle assessment’, which was prepared by three independent international experts before it was presented. The government has thus had no influence on the conclusions of the report, stresses the Department of Housing, Infrastructure and Transport.
