ASAŞ, which continues to develop sustainable production practices and low-carbon solutions for the aluminium industry, has achieved a significant milestone with NexAL, one of its innovative projects in this field. Having submitted its “Green Billet with a Low Carbon Footprint” project to the COP31 Sustainable Transformation Awards, ASAŞ was selected for an award in the “Low-Carbon Transformation, Energy and Resource Efficiency” category following an evaluation conducted by an independent jury.
ASAŞ’s low-carbon billet solution, NexAL, was developed to reduce the carbon footprint of aluminium production. With carbon emissions of less than 4 tonnes of CO₂e per tonne, NexAL aims to support customers in achieving their sustainability targets by bringing the low-carbon production approach directly to the product level. The use of renewable energy and improvements in production processes with a focus on resource efficiency have played a key role in the product’s development.
In line with its sustainability strategy, ASAŞ continues to work towards reducing the environmental impact of its production processes, improving energy efficiency and expanding the use of low-carbon products. NexAL stands out as a significant example of how the company’s sustainability approach is reflected in both its products and production processes.
The award, presented as part of the COP31 Sustainable Transformation Awards, was handed over to ASAŞ at a ceremony held at Zorlu PSM on 20 October. The recognition of ASAŞ’s NexAL project marks an important achievement in the company’s ongoing efforts to advance sustainable transformation and low-carbon production in the aluminium industry.
