In launching its new sustainability ambitions, Hydro has announced its intention to deliver its first commercial volumes of near-zero carbon aluminium in 2022. Hydro is also continuing its technology efforts toward an industrial scale pilot producing carbon-free aluminium by 2030. The ambition to deliver near-zero carbon aluminium in 2022 will come from the use of more recycled post-consumer aluminium scrap. The ambition is to deliver first commercial volumes of aluminium with 0.5-1 kg CO2/kg aluminium, through the value chain, already next year. This is a significant improvement, compared with the current 2.3 kg CO2/kg aluminium in Hydro CIRCAL extrusion ingot with 75% post-consumer aluminium scrap. The production capacity for near-zero carbon aluminium will be developed in line with market demand for this near zero-carbon aluminium. Hydro is also developing solutions for carbon-free aluminium. The aim is to have this available by 2030 and efforts are concentrated along three main pathways to zero.
