  • Members of the First Movers Coalition commit to ensuring that at least 10% by volume of all primary aluminium procured annually is low-carbon by 2030. To qualify as low-carbon, the primary aluminium must be produced using breakthrough technologies and emit less than 3 tonnes of CO2 per tonne produced, accounting for all cradle-to-gate emissions including mining, refining, anode production, electrolysis, casting, electricity, thermal energy, transport, and ancillary materials.
  • An optional commitment is available for members to ensure that at least 50% of all aluminium procured per year is sourced from secondary (recycled) aluminium by 2030, which can be derived from either post-consumer or pre-consumer scrap.
  • The achievement of these goals is linked to the deployment of advanced green technologies, including green H2, mechanical vapor recompression (MVR), inert anodes, and carbon capture use and storage (CCUS). These commitments are contingent upon the availability of technology supply and the acknowledgement that such technologies may incur a premium cost.
