🌿 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
