Decarbonisation: a major challenge
Committing to our region
The ACCEL project, dedicated to CO₂ capture and storage, has recently reached a major milestone. The government has awarded a grant of €360 million (Call for Tenders for Major Industrial Decarbonisation Projects), recognising both the importance of industrial decarbonisation, the relevance of Carbon Capture & Storage solutions where no technical alternative exists, and the maturity of the project led by Aluminium Dunkerque.
Aluminium Dunkerque has structured its sponsorship policy around two key areas, directly linked to our strategic priorities:
Support for initiatives promoting the integration and employment of young people
Support for initiatives aimed at preserving the environment and, more specifically, accelerating decarbonisation.
These achievements are underpinned by concrete investments and optimisations: the modernisation of equipment through the installation of four adiabatic towers in the maintenance area, enabling water savings of up to 90% for cooling the plant’s air compressors; structured management of consumption; the automation of drainage systems; and the enhancement of the reliability of treatment facilities.
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.
