| Abstract Scope |
The aluminum industry faces a dual challenge: meeting growing demand while reducing carbon emissions in an era of volatile energy markets and tightening climate regulations. Power sourcing is central to this transformation, as smelting remains highly energy-intensive. Alcoa has made significant progress, achieving over 85% renewable electricity for its smelting portfolio while maintaining its competitive position. Looking ahead, success will depend on scaling renewable energy, deploying innovative processes, and forging partnerships across the value chain. This keynote will explore current realities, future challenges, and how Alcoa is leading the transition toward a sustainable aluminum industry. |
