Danfoss commits to 2030，At least 10% of all primary aluminum purchased annually%It's low-carbon aluminum.。
“Forerunner Alliance”Initiated by institutions such as the World Economic Forum，Currently, there are 82 member units.，Global players in the industry and market。
Total annual carbon emissions of the aluminum industry exceed 1.1 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent——About 2% of total global emission%
The other day，World Economic Forum Announces Danfoss Officially Joined“Forerunner Alliance”(First Movers Coalition）。The Alliance works to decarbonize industries that are struggling to reduce emissions.。Danfoss joined the new aluminum industry sector under the alliance.，Commitment to 2030，Purchased annuallyAt least 10% of all primary aluminum%It's low-carbon aluminum.。In addition，Danfoss commits to 2030，At least of all aluminum used each year 50%It's recycled aluminum。
As“Forerunner Alliance”A member of，Danfoss will work with industry partners to boost market demand for green aluminum through the power of procurement.，Send a clear signal to the market of the demand for the clean technologies needed to achieve the net-zero transition。Through this commitment,，The Alliance is committed to building a sustainable aluminum value chain，To reduce carbon emissions from primary aluminium production by 50% by 2050%。Danfoss has already started negotiations.，And prepare to sign contract agreements with low-carbon aluminum suppliers。

“We are delighted to have Danfoss join the league.，And fervently hope that through joint efforts,，Expand the market scale of low-carbon aluminum around the world。We will work together with Danfoss and other enterprises with common willingness and commitment.，Driving the development of decarburization solution technologies in the aluminium industry，And accelerate deployment，To increase the commercial scale of these clean technology programmes。”
Under the leadership of institutions such as the World Economic Forum，“Forerunner Alliance”Focus on aluminum、Aviation、Chemical Industry、Concrete、Shipping、Decarbonization of sectors that struggle to reduce emissions, such as steel and Trucking。These industries account for 30% of global emissions%。For these industries to decarbonize at the required pace,，To achieve 1.5 degree temperature rise target，We must rely on low-carbon technologies.，These technologies are not yet competitive with current carbon-intensive solutions。
Members of the Alliance commit to purchase a percentage of near-zero or zero-carbon options from suppliers、Products，And because of the green premium，Higher costs may need to be paid for this.。If enough global companies make a commitment，Purchase a certain percentage of clean technology products in the current decade，This will form a market inflection point.，Drive down the price of these clean technologies，This will certainly accelerate the net zero process of the entire industry value chain.。The alliance currently has 82 members.，They are all global players in their respective industries and markets。
The aluminium industry accounts for about 2% of global emissions%，It is also the industry with the greatest potential to achieve negative carbon emissions by 2050.。Switching to low-carbon electricity is an important step that the industry can take to reach the net-zero target.。
Danfoss commits to carbon neutral global operations by 2030（Scope 1 and Scope 2），To support a global temperature rise of 1.5°CBusiness objectives within。Danfoss's climate goal has been approved by the Scientific Carbon Reduction Initiative.（SBTi）Certification of，Including the reduction of value chain emissions by 2030（Category 3）Decrease by 15%。In addition，Danfoss also specializes in setting goals.，By 2030, the emissions of its suppliers will be reduced by 25% from 2019 levels%。This commitment is also Danfoss's decarbonization.、Cyclicity and diversity、Equity and inclusion are three areas that are important elements in driving major changes.。
Danfoss has made positive progress.，So as to decouple its business growth from its environmental impact.。2022，Danfoss achieved 15%Business growth，However, its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions decreased by 7 percent%。
