production . Blending the two main areas of the business – hydroelectricity and aluminium – Hydro replaced natural gas with carbon-free hydrogen as the fuel for recycling aluminium , taking the industry one step further towards carbon-free aluminium .
It is evident that each of the company ’ s operations is carefully considered in terms of the wider environmental , social , and economic implications . But what about Hydro ’ s internal operations ?

“ We ’ re driving energy savings at all our locations and have set goals to achieve a 30 per cent reduction of emissions by 2030 as part of our journey to achieve net zero by 2050 .”
However , despite the company ’ s internal efforts , perhaps its biggest environmental impact will be through promoting and encouraging the use of post-consumer scrap aluminium . With this process consuming just five per cent of the energy used when producing raw aluminium in the first place , Technal concepts can offer a sustainable solution for construction companies worldwide .
“ We ’ ve got ambitious goals ,” states Allan . “ The construction industry at large needs to decarbonise , we must look at circularity , and recycle resources already in use within our current markets .
“ We want to continuously update our circularity model to incorporate social as well as environmental sustainability . Part of this is strengthening our work with Environmental Product Declarations ( EPDs ) to further promote our model . We ’ re continuously striving to achieve our ideal position , which would be to look at potential full circularity in the coming years .
“ However ,” Allan concludes , “ our primary aim remains the same as it always has been ; to be market leaders . As sustainability takes on a deeper meaning across the globe , we want to lead from the front because we believe it ’ s the way forward for the construction industry in every country .” ■
