Looking at Castings Environmental Impact Across Their Life Cycles

 

The transport sector is responsible for approximately 23% of global energy-related CO2 emissions and is expected to increase at a faster rate than other energy end-use sectors.

To mitigate this impact, automobile fuel economy regulations such as EPA’s Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards have been adopted. While effective at improving fuel economy, these automotive regulations are limited to only reducing the CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions from the tailpipe.
