Constellium’s Kentucky Facility receives Award for “Lowest Carbon Emissions” from TVA

Constellium has received two awards for “Lowest Carbon Emissions” and “Most Improved Carbon Emissions” based on its 2019 power consumption. The company’s Bowling Green, Kentucky facility has been recognized as an “exemplary environmental steward” by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA).

The facility manufactures flat rolled aluminium Auto Body Sheet products and has a capacity of 100,000 metric tons annually. Kentucky Facility reduces the amount of power it uses each day. Adjustments made to the CALP line, wastewater treatment facility and positive air pressure system managed to significantly minimize the facility’s power consumption.

Steve Tua, Director of Manufacturing at Bowling Green, said, "We are very proud of these awards, which recognize the continuous improvements our team has made since this plant began production as a greenfield site. This validates our efforts as a company to advance our environmental mission. We want to thank Warren RECC, our utility provider, for helping us be as energy efficient as possible."

Catherine Athenes, Vice President Group Sustainability at Constellium, commented, “These awards are a tribute to Constellium’s longstanding efforts to implement sustainability practices in our business. Our Bowling Green plant is an excellent example of our commitment to helping our automotive customers meet their lightweighting and emission reduction targets by producing advanced aluminium solutions in a sustainable way.”

Ernie Peterson, TVA General Manager, said, “In an effort to encourage energy efficiency, TVA established annual carbon reduction awards for the top performing companies across the Seven State Valley. We are proud to present this award to Warren RECC’s customer, Constellium, for their dedication to energy efficiency and protecting the environment.”
