Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), the world’s largest smelter on one site, has expanded its EternAlTM low carbon product line with the groundbreaking launch of ‘EternAl-AC’ – a new product series incorporating verified carbon offsets that are directly generated from within Alba’s own operational efficiencies.

 

EternAl-AC offers customers a uniquely transparent and credible path to achieving their carbon reduction targets. 

 

By procuring aluminium from this line, customers will gain access to traceable, third-party verified greenhouse gas (GHG) offsets originating from Alba’s internal sustainability initiatives, said Alba in a statement.

 

The new EternAl-AC series features a user-friendly tiered carbon reduction classification system spanning EternAl-AC0 (net-zero footprint) to AC4 (up to 4 tonnes of CO₂e per tonne), thus providing customers flexibility in selecting optimal low-carbon solutions with clear and verifiable data, it stated.

 

Most importantly, the carbon offsets embedded in EternAl-AC are a direct result of GHG savings generated by various projects within Alba’s operational boundaries. These reductions are rigorously measured and recorded in accordance with international standards for GHG accounting (ISO 14064-2) and independently verified by a certified independent party.

 

On this important development, Alba’s CEO Ali Al Baqali said the company was proud to introduce EternAl-AC, a game-changer in the low-carbon aluminium market.

 

"By embedding verified carbon offsets generated directly from our own operational improvements, we are offering our customers an unparalleled level of transparency and confidence in their sustainability journey, providing a distinct advantage in a world increasingly focused on carbon accountability. This initiative underscores our proactive commitment to reducing our environmental footprint and empowering our partners to achieve their net-zero ambitions," he stated.

 

"We also welcome Alueuropa – a leading Spanish aluminium extruder – as our first customer for EternAl-AC, highlighting the growing demand for sustainable aluminium," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
