In the heart of Luenen, Germany, Aurubis AG is making significant strides in sustainable metal production. The company has recently invested in a new steam storage facility and an air separation plant at its Luenen site, marking a significant step towards climate-friendly operations.
The development of these facilities, scheduled for completion in 2026, is being led by Dr. Christian Baldauf, the management of the new steam storage facility. The steam storage facility, an outcome of Aurubis AG's investment, is slated for completion in September 2025.
Aurubis AG has invested around 10 million euros in the new air separation plant, a move that could save 8,500 tons of CO2 emissions per year, according to the company. The new plant, part of Aurubis AG's commitment to climate-friendly metal production, could also eliminate up to 3,000 annual truck deliveries of liquid oxygen.
The city of Luenen views these developments at the Aurubis AG's Luenen site as an example of partnership-like cooperation between the municipality and industry. Mayor Jürgen Kleine-Frauns stated that the development of the new steam storage facility underscores the bond between the city and industry. He further added that Aurubis AG is a stabilizing factor for Luenen.
The city sees itself as an indispensable hub of the circular economy, with companies like Aurubis or Remondis playing crucial roles. According to the mayor, when companies dare to innovate, the city, economy, and society all benefit equally.
The plant management at the Aurubis AG's Luenen site has invested in the modernization and development of the site in recent years. The new facilities are being developed especially in times of economic and societal uncertainty, demonstrating Aurubis AG's commitment to long-term sustainability and growth.
The new steam storage facility and air separation plant are not just investments; they are a testament to Aurubis AG's dedication to innovation and its role as a responsible corporate citizen in Luenen. As these facilities come online, they will not only contribute to the city's economic growth but also set a benchmark for sustainable industrial development in the region.
