Aluminium energy summit – 3rd edition

Aluminium Energy Summit by Metef

Thursday, March 6 | 10:00 AM

Metef Arena – Hall 32

The third edition of the Aluminium Energy Summit will bring together industry leaders and experts to discuss energy efficiency and decarbonization strategies. 

In an increasingly complex market, these two factors have become essential for maintaining competitiveness. Now an annual event, the Summit serves as a key platform for assessing concrete contributions and technological solutions that the aluminum industry can implement to achieve circular economy and decarbonization goals. 

Organized by

The International trade fair for the Aluminum Supply Chain, 5-7 march 2025 at Bolognafiere

Industry Context

The aluminum industry continues to experience significant global growth, with opportunities and challenges spanning the entire supply chain, from raw material production to final processing. Energy efficiency and sustainability are at the core of the sector’s evolution. 

Ensuring a secure energy supply, both in terms of reliability and cost, is a strategic priority for any industrial plan. At the same time, reducing the carbon footprint across the entire production cycle is not only necessary but also achievable through collaborative efforts among key players: industry stakeholders, policymakers, energy providers, and developers of energy-efficient technologies. 

The future of aluminum depends on our ability to innovate, optimize resources, and build a sustainable and competitive growth model.
