Decarbonisation: a major challenge
Committing to our region
On 15 May, Aluminium Dunkerque and EDF signed a memorandum of understanding setting out the principles of a 10-year electricity supply contract. The contract is part of EDF’s commercial policy to support industrial companies over the long term.
Aluminium Dunkerque has reached a new milestone in its low-carbon strategy with the inauguration on 15 May of Furnace 8, its first dedicated aluminium recycling unit, marking a major step forward in its LowCAL industrial decarbonisation plan.
From 1 to 3 April, Dunkirk hosted the Batteries Event, bringing together international, national and local players in the industry at the heart of the European Battery Valley. Exhibitions, tours and conferences punctuated this key event in the region.
A major primary
aluminium producer
in Europe
designs, produces and markets low-carbon and circular aluminium.
Aluminium Dunkerque specialises in the production of slabs and ingots in a wide variety of alloys for high added-value applications in the automotive, transport and packaging sectors in particular.
Aluminium is a strategic metal for the environmental transition, and Aluminium Dunkerque is one of the world leaders in the production of low-carbon aluminium. The company has reduced its emissions by 17% (scope 1,2) since 2013 and emits four times less greenhouse gases than the global average for the sector.
On the strength of those achievements, we intend to play a major role in European low-carbon aluminium production for the benefit of our customers and our communities. Which is why we are accelerating our energy and environmental transition in line with the COP21 objectives.
