# Commitments

Members must make a demand commitment in at least one of FMC's target sectors.


## From 35 members at its inception, this coalition has grown to over 100 members, who have collectively made over 125 commitments.

Joining the FMC provides companies with a high-leverage method to take climate action by creating a market for the emerging technologies crucial to reach net zero by 2050.Membership is reserved for companies that pledge to procure in-scope technologies. However, we are open to explore partnership opportunities.Details on each of the commitments can be found below.


## Decarbonization of our sectors


### Aluminium

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.

### Aviation

Members commit to use emerging technologies including sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) with significant emissions reductions, electric, and hydrogen propulsion for air travel by 2030. Airlines and air transport companies set a target of replacing at least 5% of conventional jet fuel demand with SAF that reduces life-cycle GHG emissions by 85% or more when compared with conventional jet fuel, and/or using zero-carbon emitting propulsion technologies by 2030.Airfare and air freight purchasers set a target of replacing at least 5% of conventional jet fuel demand for air transport with SAF that reduce life-cycle GHG emissions by 85% or more when compared with conventional jet fuel, and/or zero-carbon emitting propulsion technologies by 2030 – in partnership with air transport operators.

### Carbon Dioxide Removal

Members commit to contract for durable and scalable net carbon dioxide removal to be achieved by the end of 2030, in addition to their maximal direct emissions reduction efforts.Members with >$5 billion in revenue may choose to contract at least 50,000 tons or, alternatively, $25 million on durable and scalable net carbon dioxide removals by the end of 2030.Members with <$5 billion in revenue may choose to contract at least 10,000 tons or, alternatively, $5 million on durable and scalable net carbon dioxide removals by the end of 2030.

### Cement and Concrete

Members commit to purchasing or ensuring volumes of low-emissions cement / concrete by 2030. The deployment of breakthrough cement / concrete manufacturing technology is needed to deliver a net-zero cement / concrete sector with minimal residual emissions. These technologies include carbon capture use and storage, clinker substitution, and alternative cement chemistries based on binders from alternative production pathways.According to their position within the value chain, companies commit to either purchasing at least 10% of their annual cement / concrete procurement volume by 2030 as meeting or exceeding the First Movers Coalition definition for low-emissions cement / concrete, or ensuring that at least 10% of the annual volume of cement / concrete procured for their projects by 2030 meets or exceeds the First Movers Coalition definition for low-emissions cement / concrete.

### Shipping

Members commit to use zero-emission fuels in new and in retrofitted zero-emission vessels by 2030.Carriers set a target that at least 5% (on an energy basis) of their deep-sea shipping will be powered by zero-emission fuels by 2030.Cargo owners set a target that at least 10% of the volume of their goods shipped via deep-sea-shipping will be on ships using zero-emission fuels by 2030.

### Steel

Members commit to purchasing volumes of near-zero emission steel by 2030.The deployment of breakthrough iron and steelmaking technology is needed to deliver a net-zero steel sector with minimal residual emissions. These technologies include hydrogen direct reduction, carbon capture use and storage, and electrolysis-based production processes. Steel purchasers set a target that at least 10% of their annual steel procurement volumes by 2030 meet or exceed the First Movers Coalition definition for near-zero emissions steel.

### Trucking

Members commit to purchase or contract zero-emission medium and heavy-duty vehicles by 2030. These can include battery or fuel-cell electric vehicles and also incorporate renewable sources of electricity and hydrogen for charging. Trucking owners and operators also set a target that at least 30% of their heavy-duty and 100% of their medium-duty truck purchases – or 15% of the road freight they transport - will be zero-emission trucks by 2030. Retailers & manufacturers set a target that they will require all of their trucking service providers to meet the trucking owners and operators’ commitment by 2030.

### Position on chain of custody accounting models

The First Movers Coalition (FMC) sees mixed chain of custody carbon accounting models as promising mechanisms to further its mission of advancing the most critical, emerging climate technologies. This document provides an overview of these mixed chain-of-custody models, their opportunities and risks, as well as links to FMC’s sector specific guidance.
