Alcoa has beaten its carbon reduction goal a decade early, according to the company’s 2010 sustainability report.
Last year the company cut its greenhouse gas emissions to 22 percent below 2005 levels, exceeding a 2020 goal of a 20 percent reduction. Alcoa lowered its 2010 carbon intensity to seven percent below 2009 levels. The report said the reductions are the result of energy efficiency improvements, repositioning of operations to take advantage of hydroelectric power, and other changes.
