what if you ran an aluminum feed (like something around the size of 2/0) from the outside box to a shop and connect it to the breaker box in the new shop... that has all copper lines inside the shop. Is there a reason to be worried of a fire hazard?

Im in this situation now with about 100feet of aluminum wire on hand, left over from a recent electricity-hookup by the local utility company. I am wanting to run it to a new shop underground in PVC and of course, the entire shop will be run with copper... Im wondering if there will be any issues.
