Decarbonisation: a major challenge
Committing to our region
At Aluminium Dunkerque’s initiative, 9 manufacturers and Ecosystème D have joined forces to create a series of live radio broadcasts from the 40th Dunkerque Motor Show. The aim was to illustrate the concept of decarbonisation, which is somewhat abstract for the average citizen, through everyday products.
The theme of this year’s Trophées de l’Industrie ceremony, organised by the Société Industrielle Nord de France at the Cité des Echanges on 14 November, was ‘Responsible and innovative industry: accelerating the transition to tomorrow’.
As part of the Dunkirk leg of the Climat Libé Tour, Guillaume de Goÿs, President of Aluminium Dunkerque, represented industry at a round table discussion on green industry, alongside Clément Beaune, former Minister of Transport, and Aurélie Brunstein, head of heavy industry at the Climate Action Network.
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.
