According to the official website of Yuefeng Aluminum, Yuefeng Aluminum and Mercedes-Benz (referred to as Mercedes) have reached a new long-term purchase agreement on low-carbon primary aluminum and recycled aluminum. This agreement will cover at least 10% of Mercedes' demand for primary aluminum.
Under the agreement, by 2028, the carbon footprint of primary aluminum supplied by Yuefeng Aluminum to Mercedes will gradually decrease to 3.5 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent per kilogram. The agreement also includes recycled aluminum from Yuefeng Aluminum, which contains at least 75% post-consumer waste aluminum and has a carbon emission of no more than 1.9 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent per kilogram. It is planned to be used starting from 2027.
At the same time, Yuefeng Aluminum and Mercedes are also striving to reduce the carbon footprint of primary aluminum to 3.0 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent per kilogram by 2030. This is the first target proposed by the two companies when they signed an intention letter in 2022.
