# FIRST MOVERS COALITION SECTORAluminium Aluminium production accounts for around 2% of global CO₂ emissions. As demand growth for aluminium in increasing to enable clean technologies deployment – electric vehicles, solar panels, and wind turbines – decarbonizing the industry is becoming increasingly urgent. Shifting to renewable energy, deploying clean technologies for direct emission cuts, and scaling recycling can reduce emissions significantly and position aluminium as a key enabler of a net-zero economy. ## FMC Commitment Members commit to purchasing catalytic volumes of low-CO2 emissions aluminium by 2030. Deployment of breakthrough technologies to reduce direct emissions in primary aluminium production is needed to deliver a net-zero aluminium sector by 2050. These technologies include inert anodes, CCUS, mechanical vapor compression, and green hydrogen.Members commit to procure low-carbon aluminium for at least 10% of all their annual primary aluminium procurement volumes by 2030.Additionally, as an additional voluntary commitment, members may chose to ensure that at least 50% of the total mass of their annual aluminium procurement volumes are sourced from recycled / secondary aluminium by 2030.
