Join us at aluminum-industry events to stay up-to-date on industry trends and learn more from leaders in the space.
Accelerating Sustainable Mobility | The Road to 2032
September 10, 2024 | 2:00 PM EST
The aluminum industry released an ambitious Automotive Technology Roadmap, reflecting the industry’s unified goals for future technology and sustainability. This Roadmap outlines the next decade of product-specific technical activity to collaborate with automakers, respond to the evolving landscape of electrification, and advance sustainable aluminum production. In this webinar, attendees will hear from technical experts from the Aluminum Association’s Transportation Group on the following:
- An overview of the Roadmap and industry product-specific technical activity
- Advances product-specific technical activity as the industry moves through transformational changes in manufacturing processes to deliver the engineering vehicle solutions that meet or surpass consumer expectations and sustainability priorities
- New directions for optimizing automotive aluminum through a number of pathways, including: design and product innovation and increased sustainability and recyclability, with a focus on closed-loop recycling to lower energy and carbon footprint.
Webinar – Introduction to Sustainability
November 7, 2024
In this webinar, technical experts from leading aluminum companies will discuss industry sustainability priorities, North American aluminum industry decarbonization, key data on metrics for life cycle analysis (LCA) calculations, and auto aluminum recycling. Technical leaders from both the Aluminum Association and the Aluminum Transportation Group (ATG) will discuss:
- The Aluminum Association’s recently launched North American Decarbonization Roadmap and forthcoming iterations specific to the automotive market.
- Metrics used for LCA calculations explaining the data and source to provide a foundational understanding of LCA.
- Aluminum recycling, both closed loop systems and vehicle End-of Life (EOL) including the current state of EOL scrap, what improvements are needed and why, and a brief introduction to sortation and segregation technology.
The Aluminum Association’s Transportation Group (ATG) recently presented a webinar on its automotive technology roadmap, detailing short-, mid- and long-term R&D priorities in support of its automotive customers. You can watch the replay linked here.
(Note: a third planned webinar will cover sortation and upcycling of aluminum in more detail).
