In a joint one-pager, European Aluminium and ACEA call for amending Article 5b in the CO₂ from Cars Regulation so that EU-produced low-carbon aluminium and low-carbon steel are both eligible under the material-credit mechanism, within a single, technology-neutral cap.

European Aluminium addresses a letter to Commission officials expressing shock and disappointment over the announcement that the long-awaited and urgently needed proposal for a Council Regulation establishing an export duty on aluminium scrap has been (at least temporarily) withdrawn.

This one-pager explains the role of electrification in decarbonising aluminium production across Europe. It outlines the key technology investments needed to move from pilots to industrial deployment, the main barriers to electrification, and the enabling conditions required to accelerate this shift in Europe.
