Alcoa Energy Solutions

Energy Supply Solutions

• Alcoa and other leading corporations are partnering with the World Resources Institute (WRI) to build markets for renewable energy.  Convened in 2000, WRI's Green Power Market Development Group seeks to develop corporate markets for 1,000 MW of new, cost competitive green power by 2010.
  
  
• Alcoa produces high-efficiency turbine blades for the industrial turbine market in the electric power generation industry.

Energy Demand Solutions

• Alcoa has reduced the electricity required to produce a ton of aluminum by 7.5% percent over the last 20 years.
  
  
• Alcoa supplies lightweight, recyclable materials for motor vehicle assembly; each kilogram of aluminum that replaces higher density materials provides the potential to save 20 kilograms of CO₂e emissions via better fuel economy and recyclability.
