Resumo: | The Aluminum Industry is facing high pressure from society and governments in order to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, since it is a high CO2 emission industry. This study aims to determine how the imperatives of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 will affect the aluminum industry. I will examine how theories and other studies regarding decarbonisation of the industry frame themselves in reality. Are companies really trying to make efforts to decarbonize the industry or it is all for the show, what are going to be the biggest changes in the industry, and what strategies companies can adopt in order to achieve this goal. To explore how decarbonization imperatives will change the aluminum industry, various research efforts were undertaken. First, the literature review framed the problem and information helped better understand the problem that the industry is facing. Further, various interviews were conducted with experts. The results showed that companies, some more than others, are in fact putting in practice different strategies to achieve carbon neutrality, even though they are still in the early stages of the deployment. These results suggest that enterprises are in fact aware of the facts and are taking action. However, the industry is still very profit driven, even though the companies claim not to be as such as I will mention in the course of this paper |

Este estudo visa determinar como os imperativos de alcançar a neutralidade de carbono até 2050 afetarão a indústria de alumínio. Examinarei como as teorias e outros estudos sobre a descarbonização da indústria se enquadram na realidade. As empresas estão realmente a realizar esforços para descarbonizar o setor ou é tudo fachada, quais serão as maiores mudanças no setor e quais estratégias que as empresas podem adotar para atingir esse objetivo? Para explorar como as imperatividades da descarbonização irá mudar a indústria do alumínio, vários esforços de pesquisa foram realizados. Em primeiro lugar, a revisão da literatura enquadrou o problema e a investigação ajudou a compreender melhor o problema que a indústria está a enfrentar. Além disso, várias entrevistas foram realizadas com especialistas. Os resultados demonstram que as empresas, algumas mais do que outras, estão de facto a colocar em prática diferentes estratégias para atingir a neutralidade de carbono, embora ainda estejam nos processos iniciais de implementação. Esses resultados sugerem que as empresas estão de facto cientes dos factos e estão a agir. No entanto, a indústria ainda é muito voltada para o lucro, embora as empresas afirmem que não, como mencionarei no decorrer desta tese.Rajsingh, PeterVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaTeixeira, António Joaquim Azevedo Lima2022-08-04T09:15:32Z2022-02-012022-012022-02-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/38510TID:202965562enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:44:00Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/38510Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:31:27.007909Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
