原鋁生產(chǎn)是能源密集型的，因?yàn)榇罅康碾娏ο脑趩挝贿^程中的“電解”。因此，在原鋁的生命周期分析中，環(huán)境影響可能受到熱發(fā)電的消耗所產(chǎn)生的間接溫室氣體排放(以及其他影響)的嚴(yán)重影響。

Primary aluminum production is energy intensive due to the large amount of electrical power consumed in the unit process “electrolysis”. In the life cycle analysis of primary aluminium, environmental impact can therefore be heavily affected by indirect greenhouse gas emissions (among other impacts) from the consumption of thermally generated power.
