[Learn more](#learnmore) **Despite being a major player in the energy transition, the metals industry is still very energy-intensive and contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions from the use of fossil fuels.** Simultaneously, the industry is stepping up efforts to increase energy efficiency, incorporate alternative energy sources, and decrease the amount of waste dumped in landfills. Large amounts of industrial effluent are produced during the manufacture of metals, making water an essential resource. The need for more effective cooling systems and heat recovery is being driven by growing water scarcity and climatic pressure.  ## **High-energy** process challenges **Veolia supports metals industry clients through integrated and tailored solutions designed to improve sustainability and operational efficiency.** These include: - **Optimised water management**, including treatment, reuse and reduction of consumption - **Waste recovery and reduction**, limiting landfill and supporting circular approaches - **Energy optimisation** and decarbonisation strategies - **Operation and maintenance** of critical utilities and industrial assets These solutions enable clients to meet environmental targets while ensuring continuity of operations and long-term performance. ## Veolia energy efficency solutions **for the metals industry** |  ## Learn more about **Metals Operation System Solution** [Talk to an expert](/contact-us)  **Industries** **We support** [All industries](/industries-we-support) **\#** [Food and Beverage](/industries-we-support/food-beverage-solutions "Integrated Food & Beverage Solutions for South Africa") **#** [Life Sciences](/industries-we-support/life-science-solutions "Environmental systems for Life Sciences in South Africa") **#** [Automotive](/industries-we-support/automative-solutions "Solutions for Automotive Manufacturing in South Africa") **\#** [Mining](/industries-we-support/mining-solutions "Systems for Mining Operations in South Africa") **\#** [Metals](/industries-we-support/metals-solutions "Metals Operation System Solution in South Africa") **#** [Chemicals and Energy](/industries-we-support/energy-chemicals-solutions "Chemicals and Energy: A Revolutionary Approach in South Africa") **\#** [Pulp & Paper](/industries-we-support/pulp-and-paper-solutions "Optimisation in Pulp and Paper for South Africa")
