As industries accelerate their transition to more sustainable practices, aluminum continues to stand out as a material that enables a truly circular economy. With nearly 75% of all aluminum ever produced still in use today, aluminum’s infinite recyclability ensures long-term resource efficiency and environmental benefits.
Engineering plays a vital role in driving innovation at Novelis and across the aluminum industry. On World Engineering Day, we celebrate both current and future engineers and their work to create a sustainable future. Novelis is proud of its work to help encourage the next generation of engineers to learn the skills needed for their future careers.
Novelis, in collaboration with Sourced Economics, published a working paper via the Social Science Research Network (SSRN) on lightweighting vehicles with aluminum. Novelis’ Mario Greco, Global Technology Director, Automotive, and Kashif Solaija, Senior Manager, Sustainability and Commercial Excellence, Global Automotive, teamed up with Sourced Economics CEO John Frechette, and Head of Research Yifei Xu, to rigorously investigate and ultimately contribute to key academic and scientific literature on the economics of vehicle lightweighting.
Using hydrogen instead of the same amount of natural gas when operating a melting furnace can reduce CO2e emissions by up to 90%.
A thought leadership piece by Daniel Kern, Vice President, Global Automotive Development, Novelis Traditionally, aluminum was reserved for luxury and high-performance vehicles. However, advancements in material science, recycling capabilities, and design innovation have transformed aluminum into a cost-effective and sustainable choice for all vehicle categories—from compact cars to SUVs and trucks.
Novelis is proud to be featured in a recent World Economic Forum article highlighting the impact of the First Movers Coalition (FMC), which has mobilized over $16 billion to accelerate the adoption of emerging decarbonization technologies in hard-to-abate industries. The FMC aims to drive demand for low-carbon solutions in sectors such as aluminum, aviation, and shipping—sectors that are critical to achieving a net-zero future but face significant technological and economic challenges.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are transforming the automotive industry, but their significantly heavier weight—up to 500kg more than comparable internal combustion engine (ICE) models—poses unique challenges. Reducing weight is critical for improving performance, safety, and sustainability while meeting the evolving demands of consumers and regulators.
