According to the International Aluminium Institute, the worldwide primary aluminum industry produced around 72.7 million tonnes of aluminum in 2024. Production is expected to grow even further in the coming years in order to meet corresponding increases in demand. This presents an environmental challenge, because the industry emits significant CO2 emissions — something it has […]
By Andrea Svendsen, Managing Editor. There’s no question that aluminum is a sustainable material option for industries such as automotive, transportation, and building and construction, among others. The metal’s light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and other properties enable engineers and designers to optimize their products, enabling them to develop sustainable, energy efficient designs. In […]
Trimet Aluminium SE is completing the expansion of its recycling plant in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. The project will increase production capacity at the site, as well as significantly reducing CO2 emissions by updating the energy supply. This will enable the company to achieve improved eco-balances in the aluminum alloys it produces from recycled scrap, benefiting the […]
Rio Tinto, Trimet, and Aluminium Dunkerque are partnering with Fives Group on a consortium project to develop carbon capture solutions for the aluminum industry. Primary aluminum production accounts for 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions, which corresponds to an average of 16.1 t CO2/t Al being emitted globally (in France, the average is less than 5 […]
Trimet Aluminium SE developed a new process control system for controlling the electrolysis furnaces in its aluminum smelters. The company plans to replace various existing control systems with this in-house developed control and monitoring system — called METRICS® — at its facilities in Essen, Hamburg, and Voerde, Germany, and Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, France. This will enable the […]
