Aluminum

Members commit to purchasing catalytic volumes of low-CO2 emissions aluminum by 2030. Deployment of break through technologies to reduce direct emissions in primary aluminum production is needed to deliver a net-zero aluminum sector by 2050. These technologies include inert anodes, CCUS, mechanical vapor compression, and green hydrogen.

Aluminum purchasers set a target that at least 10% of their annual primary aluminum procurement volumes by 2030 meets or exceeds the First Movers Coalition definition for low-CO2 primary aluminum. Optionally, purchasers can also commit to ensuring that at least 50% of all aluminum procured annually is sourced from secondary aluminum by 2030.

Aviation

Members commit to use emerging technologies including sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) with significant emissions reductions, electric, and hydrogen propulsion for air travel by 2030.

Airlines and air transport companies set a target of replacing at least 5% of conventional jet fuel demand with SAF that reduces life-cycle GHG emissions by 85% or more when compared with conventional jet fuel, and/or using zero-carbon emitting propulsion technologies by 2030;

Airfare and air freight purchasers set a target of replacing at least 5% of conventional jet fuel demand for air transport with SAF that reduce life-cycle GHG emissions by 85% or more when compared with conventional jet fuel, and/or zero-carbon emitting propulsion technologies by 2030 – in partnership with air transport operators.

Cement and Concrete

Members commit to purchasing or specifying volumes of near-zero emission cement / concrete by 2030. The deployment of breakthrough cement / concrete manufacturing technology is needed to deliver a net-zero cement / concrete sector with minimal residual emissions. These technologies include carbon capture use and storage, clinker substitution, and alternative cement chemistries based on binders from alternative production pathways.

Construction and engineering firms set a target that at least 10% of their annual cement / concrete procurement volume by 2030 meets or exceeds the First Movers Coalition definition for near-zero emissions.

Real estate, developers, and advisory firms set a target to ensure / specify that at least 10% of the annual volume of cement / concrete procured for their projects by 2030 meets or exceeds the First Movers Coalition definition for near-zero emissions.
