Assan Alüminyum, a prominent aluminum producer, has expanded its sustainability initiatives through the acquisition of a solar power plant in Karaman, marking a substantial advancement towards its goal of reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 as outlined in their Decarbonization Roadmap. Spanning 11.37 hectares, the plant has a capacity of 10 MWp, which supports Assan Alüminyum's strategy of offsetting Scope 2 emissions and further diversifying its renewable energy portfolio.
