High-performance, ecofriendly, and sustainable aluminium
THE CARBON BORDER ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM (CBAM)
The CBAM aims to impose a fair carbon pricing on products imported into the EU, taking into account their actual carbon footprint.
For the aluminium sector, the CBAM establishes carbon intensity reference values to serve as a basis for comparison between producers :
| Aluminum type | Carbon intensity CBAM limit |
Carbon intensity PCP Aluminium |
|---|---|---|
| Primary aluminum | 10.50 t CO2 / tonne of al. | 5.88 t CO2 / tonne of al. |
| Processed aluminum | 12.11 t CO2 / tonne of al. | 6.02 t CO2 / tonne of al. |
PCP Aluminium places sustainability at the heart of its strategy. GHG emissions are rigorously monitored and processes are optimized to maintain a carbon intensity below the CBAM reference values.
Result : our products are below European regulatory thresholds, without risk of additional carbon costs for our customers.
A CONTROLLED CARBON FOOTPRINT
- Electric heat treatment ensuring low carbon intensity.
- Efficient and optimized gas remelting process performing below international reference scenarios.
- Approach in accordance with the GHG Protocol, with monitoring of Scopes 1 and 2.
- Sustainable and local partnerships promoting decarbonization of the sector.
COMPLIANCE WITH THE CBAM
Thanks to the efficiency of its remelting processes and rigorous energy management, PCP achieves a carbon intensity of 1.61 t CO2 per tonne of aluminum, well below the CBAM reference values.
This performance guarantees our European customers :
- Easy compliance
- Sustainable competitive advantage
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
- Constant modernization of equipment and processes.
- Systematic re-valorization of internal waste (recycling loops).
- Ongoing energy and carbon monitoring to guide investment decisions.
In the process of being fully certified and fully compliant, we are actively monitoring the legislation related to CBAM and remain vigilant for companies to be accredited as soon as the European entities have determined the criteria. Once the companies have been selected, we will be audited.
