Forward from: Elon Musk / SpaceX / Tesla / ElonJet / Private Jets Yachts Facts about Pollution and Climate Change
The transport sector is responsible for 24% of direct CO2 emissions from fuel combustion, with light- duty vehicles making up nearly 45% of these CO2 emissions

Compared to other metals, the production of the metals used to make the cathode have a higher emission intensity. 2.7-5 kg CO2 is emitted from 1 kg of copper and 1.7 kg CO2 from 1 kg of steel, but the highest emission factors are for cobalt – reaching 9-10 kg CO2-eq/kg, and nickel – with 5.25-10 kg CO2-eq/kg

Aluminium production depends on the mining of bauxites and nepheline ore, on the refining of alumina, and on the smelting of primary aluminium, which is an energy-intensive process. Aluminium production consumes around 5% of all electricity produced in the US, for example.30 The 2018 global average cradle- to-gate emission intensity of aluminium is as high as 17 tCO2-eq/t, with over half of this in the form of electricity.
Assuming an average content of 250 kg
aluminium per vehicle, the 2018 aluminium demand for BEVs alone amounted to 250,000 tons, and it is forecasted to reach 10 million metric tons by 2030
After steel, aluminium is the second most common metal used in car production, and also the second largest contributor to GHGs among metals used in car manufacturing

The GHG-intensity of the BEV supply chain is mainly due to the batteries
