The 2023 Powering Up Britain plans brought energy security and net zero together
• We published the Powering Up Britain plans in March 2023.
• Energy security and net zero are two sides of the same coin – we can secure reliable energy supplies whilst cutting carbon and reducing prices.
• Putin’s illegal war destabilised global energy markets and led to an energy crisis. (Figure 1).
• The Government provided unprecedented support to consumers and firms (Figure 2).
• To meet Britain’s future energy needs, and bring down prices, we set out a plan to diversify, decarbonise and domesticate energy production.

Addressing carbon leakage risk to support decarbonisation
Consultation overview
Carbon leakage consultation: an overview OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE OFFFFIICIIALL--
HMG’s approach to carbon leakage
Carbon leakage is the movement of production and associated emissions from one country to another due to different levels of decarbonisation effort through carbon pricing and climate regulation. As a result, the objective of decarbonisation efforts –to reduce global emissions –would be undermined.
• •
The UK is working with international partners to address carbon leakage -this remains our priority.
However, this will take time, so we are also considering domestic policies to ensure UK efforts lead to a true reduction in global emissions.
The government is therefore exploring a package of potential measures to mitigate carbon leakage risk at all stages of the UK's net zero transition.
ETS reform is being explored in parallel by the UK ETS Authority; any carbon leakage policy would be designed to work cohesively with our existing carbon leakage policy measures.

Exploring a potential policy package
This exploratory consultation will inform decision making on which policies, if any, should be introduced, and does not commit the government to adopt any specific policy.
We are inviting views and evidence from stakeholdersonthe best possible mix of policies to manage carbon leakage risk.
New measures wouldneed to:
•
• Promote and encourage increased climate action both in the UK and globally, including
Respond to carbon leakage risk in a proportionate, targeted, evidence-based, and effective way, aligning with relevant UK decarbonisation policy. international action to address carbon leakage and taking into consideration countries’ differing levels of development,particularlyfor leastdeveloped and low-incomecountries.
Be compatible with, and deliverable alongside, the government’s key domestic priorities, such as supporting sustainable and balanced growth, by minimising business compliance costs.
Be consistent with ourcommitment to free and open trade and be designed in line with the UK’s international obligations and commitments,including World TradeOrganisation (WTO)obligations.

Part 2: Emissions reporting requirements
An embodied emissions reporting system could support the implementation of carbon leakage mitigation policies. A key consideration is to minimise and consolidate burdens on business including by making requirements streamlined and non-duplicative as far as possible.
An emissions reporting framework may be needed to underpin policy with reporting of product-level embodied emissions.

Main Drivers Of Demand Growth
Transportation Electrical Packaging Construction
Decarbonisation policies and the shift towards more aluminium intensive electric vehicles will have a positive impact in the metal’s consumption coming from the Transportation sector.
The transition from traditional sources of power towards nonconventional renewable energy sources represents one of the most substantial opportunities for the aluminium industry over the coming years
Driven mainly by the rise in popularity of canned drinks in North America, Europe and China, the packaging sector is experiencing a surge in demand of aluminium
In contrast to other sectors, the construction sector is not expected to be driven by ESG trends and decarbonization policies.

How to add up emission types:
• We use a conversion factor : Global Warming Potential (GWP), over 100 years .
• It measure the contributions to global warming over 100 years, of 1 kg of gas compared with CO 2 (CO 2 e) .
• Figures are based on calculations updated in each IPCC report .
• Other indicators exist . Most of the regulations use GWP at 100 years .

Deep Learning technology
Artificial intelligence (AI) is any technique that enables computers to mimic human intelligence, using logic, if-then rules, decision trees and machine learning.
Artificial Intelligence
Machine learning (ML) uses statistical techniques to give computer systems the ability to "learn" from data, without being explicitly programmed.
A full AI is the intelligence of a machine that could successfully perform any intellectual task that a human being can.
Machine Learning
Today narrow AI, a machine trained to do one particular task, is becoming widely used.
Deep Learning
Deep learning (DL) is a class of ML algorithms that uses a hierarchical level of artificial neural networks.

Market Drivers
Market drivers & trends in metal recycling
• Huge cost impact on (primary) aluminum industry
• Focus on reducing operational costs
• Availability of human resources
• Staying local due to high transportation costs and more stringent regulations for transboundary shipments (EU)
• Need for sorting ‘waste’ (WEEE plastics, ASR) & further upgrading NF metals
• Continuing market pull for Green Aluminum & recycled content
• High demand for XRT & alloy sorting
• Global trend
‹#›
The global trend: the race to carbon neutrality
Several states have pledged/projected for carbon neutrality by:
EU Green Deal and “Fit for 55 Initiative”
• European climate law formulates legal obligation to reach climate neutrality by 2050
• Commitment by EU member stats to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 (compared to 1990 levels); legally binding
• Agreement reached in EU Parliament 04/2021 and EU Council approved in 05/2021

A few conclusions towards carbon neutrality
• The aluminum industry is spending tremendous efforts to reach the goal!
• Without a significant utilization of scrap, carbon neutrality cannot be reached!
• In order to utilize more scrap in aluminum production, clean scrap fractions are needed!
Scrap sorting by alloy is essential!

Aluminum alloys that need separation
Aluminum wrought Alloys 1xxx Al 2xxx Cu 3xxx Mn 4xxx Si 5xxx Mg 6xxx Mg, Si 7xxx Zn 8xxx Others Solved with X-Tract
Combining XRT and LIBS sorting technology
• The X-TRACT is a good sorting step in order to decrease Cu, Zn and partly Si
• This removes the 2.xxx and 7.xxx as well as the cast alloys high in copper
• In aluminium from car shredder a high content of Si typically remains
• The LIBS step can help to lower the Mg and Si level
X-TRACT Free heavy metals Cast alloys high in Cu+Zn (mainly 3xx.x) Wrought 2.xxx + 7.xxx 1.xxx 3.xxx 5.xxx 6.xxx LIBS 5.xxx 6.xxx 4.xxx Cast low in Cu/Zn
1.xxx 3.xxx 4.xxx Cast low in Cu/Zn High in Al > 5 % Si Magnesium
Opportunities for post consumer scrap
• The machine produced the groups 6.xxx, 5.xxx, 3.xxx and cast in 4 steps
• Main challenge for the future is to work on these alloying groups with:
⚬ Lacquer
⚬ Dirt
⚬ Swim - sink- flotation residues
⚬ Organic remains
⚬ Blank pieces
• The more groups are defined the better the purity and recovery results will become

Opportunities for Zorba
• The main influence on the heavy metal content was done by the XRT
• A lowering of Mg and Si could be achieved by the LIBS
• An influence on the surface could not be identified
• Low alloyed cast remains in the drop fraction
