Frequently Asked Questions about Alba EternAlTM lower carbon aluminium
Q: What differentiates EternAlTM from regular Alba products?
EternAlTM products boast a higher percentage of recycled content (secondary aluminium) compared to standard offerings. EternAl-15 & EternAl-30 incorporate 15% and 30% recycled content respectively. This reduces the carbon footprint of these products, aligning with Alba's commitment to a circular economy and maximising the use of secondary aluminium as outlined in our ESG Roadmap.
Q: Do you plan to add more than 50% recycled content to EternAlTM products in the future?
Yes. Alba is developing and researching products with an even higher proportion of recycled content, exceeding 50% secondary aluminium.
Q: Do you plan to use renewable energy in future production of primary metal?
Yes. Fulfilling the Green Energy and Aluminium priority within our ESG Roadmap, Alba is currently commissioning an on-site solar project. Additionally, the Company issued a public tender to secure a 500MW renewable energy Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) lasting up to 25 years.
Q: What product types does the EternAlTM brand offer?
We can produce all product types, including billets, slabs, and foundry ingots, using a combination of primary and secondary aluminium.
Q: What is the carbon footprint of EternAl-15, EternAl-30?
The carbon footprint depends on the specific customer requirements and the amount of secondary aluminium (recycled content) used in the final product. Generally, EternAl-15 has a carbon footprint of around 6 tCO2e/tAl, while EternAl-30 sits at approximately 5 tCO2e/tAl.
Q: What kind of scrap materials are used in the secondary aluminium?
The selection of recycled materials for secondary aluminium prioritises their suitability for combining with primary aluminium to achieve the desired final product quality. These materials come from pre-consumer and post-consumer sources, excluding Alba's own rework materials.
Q: Does using recycled content affect product quality?
Our EternAlTM line adheres to the same rigorous quality control procedures as all Alba products. We uphold the ISO 9001:2015 quality management standard and have a comprehensive metallurgy and quality testing facility to ensure consistent excellence.
Q: What is the production Capacity for the EternAlTM brand?
The EternAlTM brand was developed to address customer and market demand for lower carbon footprint products. Our capacity will adjust over time to meet evolving market needs.
Q: How has your carbon footprint methodology for EternAlTM been validated, how do you verify the carbon footprint for EternAlTM products?
Alba provides self-certification for the product carbon footprint of each EternAlTM batch. The EternAlTM GHG Emission System Boundary is independently validated and verified by DNV. For customers requiring additional verification specific to their batch, we offer this service for an extra fee. In most cases, Alba's self-verified and self-certified documentation should suffice.
