BMW Group has announced it is to begin sourcing aluminum produced using solar electricity with immediate effect in a move that could deliver significant reductions to its supply chain emissions.
The German auto giant confirmed the first delivery of aluminum produced at plants that source solar power was the first step in a plan to scale up the use of green power across its aluminum supply chain that it estimates could allow it to avoid about 2.5 million tonnes of CO2 emissions over the next 10 years.
