On November 14, 2023, European Aluminium unveiled its latest report titled "Net-Zero by 2050: Science-based Decarbonisation Pathways for the European Aluminium Industry" at a high-level event featuring Kerstin Jorna, Director-General at the European Commission's DG Grow. This report presents a thorough and practical framework to realise net-zero emissions throughout the entire aluminium value chain, encompassing primary production, semi-fabrication, and recycling.
The European aluminium industry, marked by its high energy consumption and challenging emissions reduction, accounts for around 24 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions yearly. Despite this, aluminium plays a crucial role in advancing the transition to a fully decarbonised economy by supporting various clean technologies such as solar PV, wind power, heat pumps, and electric vehicles. Anticipating a 30 per cent increase in European aluminium demand by 2040 and the EU targeting 40 per cent satisfaction of this demand through domestically sourced raw materials, the industry is dedicated to ensuring sustainable growth without exacerbating global emissions.
