Constellium has announced the closure of its coal-fired power station located at its Singen facility in Germany, concluding the company's global transition away from coal usage.
As the Singen facility completes its shift to natural gas in 2024, it anticipates a reduction in greenhouse gas direct emissions of over 25% between 2021 and 2025, aligning with Constellium's sustainability goal to decrease carbon emissions intensity by 30% in 2030. Constellium Singen had already significantly reduced its overall energy consumption and is investigating further energy efficiency initiatives. Furthermore, the plant is actively exploring alternative solutions, such as procuring low-carbon energy through power purchase agreements (PPAs) and installing solar panels.
“This is a significant milestone for Constellium, for our facility and for the community,” said Jochen Chwalisz, Managing Director of Constellium Singen. “With this step, we close the chapter on Constellium's coal usage and embrace the next phase of our sustainability journey."
Constellium’s Singen facility is one of the company’s largest sites, serving the automotive and packaging markets. The facility is ASI-certified since 2019, supplying independently certified, responsibly sourced, and sustainably manufactured aluminium rolled and extruded solutions.
