Use phase benefits
Hydro’s climate strategy: carbon-neutral by 2020
Climate effects and carbon neutrality are affected by several factors
Source of energy and process
improvements
Products that enable carbon
savings
Recycling
•Recyclable with low energy input
•Strong position in hydropower – 2/3 of
portfolio
• Focus on developing markets where
aluminium properties enable carbon
savings
• Lighter cars, less emissions
•Among aluminium companies, Hydro
has among the lowest emissions
•Preparing technology pilot for the
world’s most energy efficient
electrolysis
• In the long run, relative cost position
may improve if carbon pricing is
introduced in more areas
(6)
• Energy efficiency buildings
• Lighter packaging, less resources
• Ambition to be in the technological
forefront and work with consumers to
develop new solutions
•Recycled material has the lowest
carbon footprint
• Recycling rates high in general

An enabling technology for energy positive buildings
Supply ever more energy – or stop the
energy waste?
− Today, buildings account for 40% of the
world’s energy consumption
− In 2050, energy consumption in buildings
will equal total energy usage in the world
today – if we don’t do anything

• Buildings need to become energy
efficient
− The majority of EU’s energy-saving
potential is in the building sector
− Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings to become
norm for all new buildings in the EU by the
end of 2020

Better protection in packaging saves resources
Prevents product spoilage, reduces food waste and provides energy savings
Aluminium extends the life of products
• 1.5 grams of aluminium in a 1l fruit juice
packed beverage carton more than doubles
the shelf-life.
Aluminium packaging
keeps food fresh longer,
reduces cooling need
and protects food better
during transportation
and storage
Less packaging needed
• Lighter materials mean less material
needed, less energy to make it and less to
recycle end of life.
