Fastmarkets has assessed its new aluminium low-carbon differential P1020A in the US Midwest at zero. While low-carbon primary aluminium and value-added products (VAPs) are not currently commanding a premium in the United States, there's a surge in interest among market participants.

🌍 Sustainability is at the forefront: Many customers are now focusing on the carbon footprint of aluminium products, and there's a growing demand for greener alternatives. This demand is particularly prominent in the beverage can, automotive, and construction industries.

🚗🏢 Companies like Ford, Rivian, Pepsi, and General Motors have urged the US Department of Energy to invest in American-made clean aluminium. Novelis reports an increasing demand for low-carbon aluminium sheet products from the automotive industry. The tides are changing, and the future looks promising for eco-friendly aluminium solutions!

Fastmarkets is leading the charge, introducing new low-carbon aluminium assessments to bring transparency to the market. We've already launched similar differentials in Europe, with further plans for new European assessments for value-added products. Learn more: https://fmrkts.com/3QP4Ssl

What's new in low-carbon aluminium? Fastmarkets has just launched new low-carbon aluminium differentials into the US market to add value to its existing US Midwest P1020

09/11/2023

In a bid to combat global overcapacity and address climate change, the European Union and the United States began negotiations in October 2021 for the Global Arrangement on Sustainable Steel and Aluminium (GASSA). The aim was to encourage environmentally friendly steel production and reduce trade in high-carbon steel and aluminum.

While there was optimism that an agreement would be reached, both sides have extended their negotiations through the end of 2023 after failing to find common ground on key issues.

This collaboration is crucial in sending demand signals for green steel and paving the way for other countries to benefit from trade while decarbonizing their heavy industry. Read more: https://fmrkts.com/3QwRKqn

Learn how the United States and the European Union will continue to negotiate a steel and aluminum arrangement through the end of 2023 after failing to reach a consensus on a number of key issues, sources told Fastmarkets

09/11/2023

Fastmarkets is extending the consultation period for launching new European aluminium low-carbon differentials for value-added products (VAPs). Following valuable market feedback, we're proposing some additional changes to better serve the low-carbon market.

Our initial proposal aimed to separate low-carbon aluminium billet from other VAPs, but now, we're proposing to introduce three new low-carbon VAP differentials in Europe:

1️⃣ A standalone low-carbon differential for primary foundry alloy with a three-month timing window, published monthly.
2️⃣ A standalone low-carbon differential for billet with a three-month timing window, published monthly
3️⃣ A third low-carbon differential for wire rod and slab with a 12-month timing window, published quarterly.

Each of the proposed differentials would come with individual specifications to reflect the different trading mechanisms in the respective markets, allowing Fastmarkets to include a wider range of data points.

Your input matters! The extended consultation period started on November 2 and ends on November 16, with the launch subject to market feedback. We're eager to hear your thoughts and insights. Find out more: https://fmrkts.com/3SDjpJf

After assessing market feedback, Fastmarkets is extending the consultation period for its proposal to launch a number of new European aluminium low-carbon differentials for value added products (VAPs) by two additional weeks.
