In March 2011 the European Commission released its communication "A Roadmap for Moving to a Competitive Low Carbon Economy in 2050" (COM(2011)0112), providing scenarios and targets on how different key sectors--power generation, industry, transport, buildings and construction, as well as agriculture--can make the transition to a low-carbon economy over the coming decades. This leaflet provides a synopsis of the aluminium industry"s response to the challenges in that communication.
