Climate-efficient operation with ETS
Since 2013 the ETS system (European Trading System for Carbon Emissions) has been effective in Norway. Multiple incentives for climate-efficient operation are built into the system, and Eramet Norway intends to use ETS as a tool to further enhance its competitive edge.
Eramet Norway can proudly boast that we have one of the world’s cleanest production processes in environmental terms.
