SECTOR TRANSITION TOOLS

Endorsed by major global aluminium producers, MPP’s Aluminium Transition Strategy provides a shared vision for the industry’s low-carbon future, providing real economy milestones and detailing the industry, policy, and finance action required to get to net zero on a 1.5C-aligned pathway. It outlines, for example, that 40 additional low-carbon refineries and smelters would need to be online by 2030 to kick-off the transition to net zero in the 2030s and 2040s.
