Germany Al |
Germany has unveiled the German Aluminium Alliance, a coalition formed to spearhead the transition toward a competitive, climate-neutral aluminum industry. Spearheaded by the Aluminium Deutschland association, the alliance unites key players, including major trades unions IG Metall and IG BCE, and economic authorities from the federal states of North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saxony-Anhalt, Saarland, and Hamburg.
Building a Sustainable, Competitive Aluminum Sector
The alliance’s primary objectives include developing low-emission technologies for aluminum production, creating a climate-neutral value chain, and boosting sustainability through a circular economy. With Germany’s aluminum industry playing a critical role in decarbonization, the alliance plans to advance research funding, secure stable energy supplies, and advocate for fair global competition to prevent carbon leakage. These goals align with enhancing Germany’s industrial competitiveness while contributing to EU-wide climate targets.
Aluminium Deutschland president Rob van Gils emphasized the need for aluminum in meeting climate goals, noting that cooperation with political and social partners is essential to ensure sustainability and industry resilience.
