Transforming Aluminium

Driving forwards clean aluminium | critical factors

  • Clean electricity consumption in aluminium production
  • Decarbonising direct emissions throughout the aluminium production process
  • Increasing recycling of post-consumer aluminium scrap
  • Improved material and resource efficiency

Global burden of aluminium production

Industry-endorsed strategy

In 2022 we developed an Aluminium Sector Transition Strategy in collaboration with a diverse set of industry leaders. This provides a shared vision for a clean aluminium future, modelling of pathways, real economy milestones and the industry, policy and finance actions required to get there. Assumptions have not been updated since publication, but the STS still represents a quantitative reference point.

China and a growing group of renewables-rich emerging economies are attracting an increasing share of investment in clean industry, according to the latest findings from Mission Possible Partnership’s Global Project Tracker, supported by the Industrial Transition Accelerator (ITA). Clean industry, powered by renewable energy, is redrawing the world’s industrial map as projects move from the drawing board to construction.

China is one of a number of countries across the East Asian region where the steel sector is facing a pivotal moment, this is the second in a series of reports where we examine the opportunities for countries to reinforce the foundations of their industrial strength.

Faustine will lead MPP’s growing portfolio of activities to unlock deep decarbonisation projects in industry, including live programmes in the US and Europe. The move signals a step-change for the organisation, which was founded in 2019 and recently established as a fully independent not-for-profit entity. With the Board’s backing, Faustine will lead a new strategic phase centered on supporting and unlocking decarbonisation projects across heavy industry and transport sectors, which together account for more than 30% of all global carbon emissions.

Clean industry is entering a new phase of momentum, with 1,001 commercial-scale projects now recorded across all stages of development. This marks strong growth across multiple sectors and regions despite ongoing geopolitical headwinds.
