DENSO is expecting the interest in electric mobility solutions to continue to accelerate.

Hydro is being recognized by DENSO for supporting its sustainability initiatives by delivering heat exchange components and systems based on recycled and low-carbon aluminium.

(PRESS RELEASE) OSLO, 7-Dec-2021 — /EuropaWire/ — Hydro (OTCMKTS: NHYDY), a Norwegian aluminium and renewable energy company committed to a sustainable future, has announced that its business unit Hydro Precision Tubing has earned the company a DENSO Award for Excellent Collaboration for Sustainability Initiatives for its recycled and low-carbon aluminium used in heat exchange components and systems. Aligned with the company’s goal to reduce CO2 emissions, DENSO appreciated the proactive collaboration provided by the aluminum tubing team in Denmark.

The Tønder-based team is credited with developing solutions combining low-carbon Hydro REDUXA with post-consumer aluminium scrap, to meet DENSO requirements.
