🌿 Did you know that we can produce aluminum with an 80 percent lower carbon footprint than the global average? Yesterday Årdal Recycling was officially opened by the Mayor of Årdal Christian Sønstlien, the Minister of Trade and Industry Jan Christian Vestre and Årdal’s Plant Manager Anveig B Halkjelsvik, marking an important step toward a greener, more eco-friendly future. 🍃 The demand for #lowcarbon #aluminum is increasing, especially in the #automotive industry. Our incredible team in Årdal has harnessed cutting-edge technology and expertise to make a significant impact. Here’s how: ♻ By mixing primary aluminum (made with renewable hydropower) with up to 30 percent post-consumer aluminum scrap, our upgraded casting line in Årdal achieves a record low-carbon footprint. This #innovation benefits some of Europe’s most advanced customers by reducing greenhouse gas emissions embedded in their products. 🌱 🌎 #HydroREDUXA 3.0, now proudly produced in Årdal, has a carbon footprint of below 3.0 kg CO2e/kg aluminum—approximately 80 percent lower than the global average. 🤝 Our #strategic #partnership with leading customers drives our commitment to #decarbonization. With this investment Årdal is positioned to supply low-carbon aluminum to the European market for decades to come. 🌟 Norsk Hydro’s Vision: We’re on a mission to become a net-zero producer of aluminum by 2050, and we are already on track for a 30 percent reduction in emissions by 2030 compared to 2018 levels. 🔄 In addition to recycling of post-consumer scrap, Hydro is working towards full decarbonization by introducing new technologies such as carbon capture and storage, as well as developing HalZero, a completely new electrolysis process with the potential to eliminate CO2 emissions from primary aluminium production altogether. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue our journey toward a greener, more sustainable future! 🌟🌿🌎 #Sustainability #LowCarbonAluminum #Decarbonization #HydroInnovation #Collaboration

Recycling News You Can Use ♻️🗞️ 🌍 Why Norsk Hydro's Low-Carbon Aluminum is a Win for the Planet 🌿 Norsk Hydro’s commitment to expanding its low-emission Hydro Reduxa and high-recycled-content Hydro Circal aluminum isn't just great for the company—it’s a powerful step toward a #greener future. Here's why this matters for our environment: 🔄 #Decarbonizing Through Recycling By prioritizing the use of 700,000 metric tons of post-consumer scrap in 2024 and aiming for up to 1.2 million metric tons annually by 2030, Hydro proves that recycling isn't just about waste reduction—it's a cornerstone of decarbonization. Using recycled materials dramatically cuts energy use and emissions compared to producing new aluminum from raw materials. ⚡ Investing in #GreenInnovation Hydro is funneling $1.35 billion into innovations that strengthen recycling capabilities and modernize extrusion operations. These investments not only lower costs but also reduce the environmental footprint of aluminum production, paving the way for a more #sustainable industry. 🌿 Meeting the Demand for Low-Carbon Solutions As the green transition accelerates, the demand for sustainable products is skyrocketing. Hydro’s low-emissions aluminum offers industries like #construction, #automotive, and packaging a tangible way to shrink their #carbonfootprints. As President and CEO Eivind Kallevik puts it: “We are steadily delivering on our ambition to pioneer the green aluminum transition.” 🌟 This is not just about the bottom line—it's about setting a precedent for sustainable practices in resource-intensive industries. Every step toward low-carbon aluminum is a step closer to a healthier #planet. 🌏 We Make ♻️ Easy!

Refuse Derived Fuel for the cement industry: the sorting challenge Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) and the more refined Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) are produced from MSW after recyclable materials have been removed. It is a renewable fuel, easy to transport and store, with a high calorific value, stable combustion, low secondary pollution, and low carbon emissions. STADLER’s constant search for solutions that meet and anticipate changing customer requirements is not limited to the initial development and installation of a sorting plant: as the RDF industry evolves, it is at the customer’s side, reviewing the design to ensure the facility continues to deliver the desired results over the years.

75% of all aluminium ever produced is still in use today! 🏬 🚎 🚗 Aluminium is an infinitely recyclable material - made for circularity. When cars, busses, buildings etc. reaches end of life, we can upcycle the scrap and bring this critical raw material back into the loop. Only ten months ago, Hydro and PADNOS partnered to create Alusort LLC, supplying Hydro’s Cassopolis and Henderson plants with raw material for low-carbon Hydro CIRCAL, containing at least 75% post-consumer scrap. Alusort’s HySort technology, pioneered in Europe, sorts challenging post-consumer aluminium scrap, enabling streamlined production of high-quality, low-carbon aluminium. #HydroCIRCAL #Sustainability #Recycling #Innovation #CircularEconomy https://lnkd.in/dqmf7xUK

EU support for carbon-neutral cement to build the future 🤝 Supported by the EU as part of the European Green Deal, Swiss cement manufacturer Holcim is investing over €500 million in a new state-of-the-art plant in Obourg, Mons, for the ‘GO4ZERO’ project. 🎯 The aim is to produce more than 2 million tonnes of carbon-neutral cement a year by 2029 and capture a whopping 1.2 million tonnes of CO2! ♻ There’s also a partnership with the French Air Liquide on concentrated CO2 to facilitate carbon capture and purification on site. 🗝 Circularity is key: more than 95% of thermal requirements are covered by alternative fuels and more than 30% of the raw materials come from partially decarbonised industrial residues or by-products. #EmbracingOpenness #Belgium #openforpartnerships #GO4ZERO #GreenDeal #CarbonCapture #sustainability #netzero #cement Holcim Belgium
