Novelis tests hydrogen use in recycling furnace for carbon neutrality

UK-based Novelis Inc. successfully tested hydrogen fuel in a recycling furnace at its Latchford plant, reducing CO2e emissions by up to 90%. The trial was part of the UK government decarbonization programme and utilized new equipment. The project, supported by a £4.6 million grant, demonstrated the potential for hydrogen to decarbonize the aluminum production process. Novelis aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, with new targets for recycled content and emissions reduction.
