Norwegian aluminum producer Norsk Hydro said that the demand for low-carbon aluminum will grow by 20% annually by 2030 as customers, such as carmakers, construction firms, and packaging companies, are seeking to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

The demand for low-carbon aluminum was expected to surpass other markets, with an estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20% during the period from 2022 to 2030.

Forecasting a higher demand for low-carbon aluminum, Hydro said that the recycling of post-consumer scrap was also expected to increase to 620,000-770,000 tons by 2027 from 140,000 tons per year.

It was expected that low-carbon and recycled aluminum will account for a large share of the EU and American market in 2030.
