🏗️Century Aluminum's new green plant would emit far less pollution than the aluminum facilities of today.

Arianna Skibell writes: 'Clean energy requires a lot of aluminum, which needs a lot of clean energy to be produced without planet-warming emissions.'

'Additionally, the DOE funded a new Century Aluminum smelter, the first primary aluminum facility to open since 1980. Since the U.S. makes the cleanest aluminum in the world, this new facility will help reduced imported emissions by doubling the size of domestic production.'

🌦️Climate & industry go hand in hand—not only is industry a big emitter of greenhouse gases & local pollutants, it's also essential in producing the materials needed to build clean energy products. Learn about the role of #aluminum in a zero-carbon future.

'However, translating ambition into actuality will depend on whether Century can find enough green power to run its new green smelter.'

Andy Home writes✒️ on the Green Aluminum Smelter project⚡️ reuters.com/markets/commod…

'As the industry rapidly transitions to EVs, pressures are growing to manufacture them with clean materials. Automakers therefore have an opportunity to drive the decarbonization of three industries at once — not only automotive, but steel and aluminum...' latitudemedia.com/news/ev-makers…

The waste sector is the THIRD largest source of methane globally.

We can’t afford to continue to ignore the harmful impacts of landfills. U.S. EPA needs to prioritize stronger landfill emissions rules.

In a new op-ed from Yong Kwon, the senior policy advisor on the Sierra Club's industrial transformation campaign: the barriers to decarbonizing the steel and aluminum industries are increasingly more due to market dynamics than to the technology itself. latitudemedia.com/news/ev-makers…

Landfills are a key driver of planet-warming methane emissions.

Our recent analysis found that 75% ❗❗of industrial methane emissions in Texas come from the state’s municipal solid waste landfills.

#Opinion in Lexington Herald-Leader on a new low-carbon #aluminum facility: 'A new plant like this would be huge for our state. It will create thousands of new, high-paying, family-supporting jobs and a substantial boost to the local economy.' kentucky.com/opinion/op-ed/…

Read this piece from Maria Gallucci on why the US must grow clean aluminum production.

“It makes a lot more sense to clean up the industry domestically, have short supply chains and invest in jobs so that we have the material that we need” - Annie Sartor

Thanks to U.S. Department of Energy, the US is building the first zero-emission cement plants in the world.

Last month's OCED awards were a BIG moment for slashing emissions in the industrial sector.
