Aurubis recently concluded its largest maintenance shutdown at the Hamburg site, where approximately 500 individual tasks were completed with a budget of around €95 million. The shutdown included investments in hydrogen-ready anode furnaces and expanding carbon-free industrial heat, with a total investment of almost a quarter of a billion euros. This extensive maintenance and modernization effort aimed to increase efficiency, environmental protection, and safety at the plant. The company's commitment to sustainability was further highlighted by the installation of hydrogen-ready anode furnaces, allowing for more climate-friendly production by using hydrogen instead of natural gas. This move significantly reduces carbon emissions, aligning with Aurubis' goal of achieving carbon-neutral production before 2050. Additionally, the investment in carbon-free industrial heat expansion will benefit thousands of households in Hamburg, contributing to the city's efforts to reduce CO2 emissions. These strategic projects underscore Aurubis' pioneering role in sustainability and decarbonization within the industry, setting a positive example for accelerating the transition to cleaner energy sources.
