Aluminum and high-strength steel can substantially cut both life cycle energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.
“Both aluminum and HSS have significant potential to reduce life cycle energy demand and GHG emissions.8,12,14,16”
From Global Carbon Benefits of Material Substitution in Passenger Cars until 2050 and the Impact on the Steel and Aluminum Industries (2014) · cites this paper as [14]
Replacing a kilogram of material with aluminum or high-strength steel may lower life cycle GHG emissions by 5-8 kg CO2-eq.
“Geyer et al. 14 use a different indicator and find that using aluminum or HSS may reduce lifecycle GHG emissions by 5-8 kg CO 2 -eq per kg of replaced material.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
