Zero-carbon aluminium is the future of aluminium production
Aluminium is a key enabler in the green transition, but production must be carbon emission free.
Since 1990, Hydro has cut emissions by 55% and the CO2 footprint in the aluminium products by 70% at its fully owned primary aluminium smelters. Our electrolysis technology is world-leading on energy efficiency and climate performance and well-positioned for carbon capture.
The International Aluminium Institute’s (IAI) 1,5 degree scenario forecasts that aluminium demand will increase by 70-80% by 2050. Most of the growth can be covered by an increase in recycling of used post-consumer aluminium scrap, while the remaining growth must be covered by zero-carbon emission primary aluminium production.
To meet the demand in a sustainable way, production must become emission free – and Hydro will...

Driving Sustainable Aluminium - The Future of Electric Mobility
The #automotive industry is facing multiple challenges to meet the goals of the European Green Deal. It needs to produce new, high-performance but lightweight materials and decrease the dependencies on imported raw materials while creating a sustainable economy for the future.
How do you solve this puzzle?
SALEMA partners see the solution in #aluminium.
This lightweight, cost-effective and fully recyclable metal can meet the highest technical requirements and is ready for mass production.
The SALEMA project is a combined strategy of decreasing the critical raw material dependency (from magnesium and silicon) and creating a sustainable economy in the aluminium manufacturing industry of Europe.

Aluminium | How Do You Make It?
Aluminium is fascinating, flexible and very versatile. But how is it made?
Aluminium production starts with the raw material bauxite, a clay like soil type found in a belt around the equator. The bauxite is mined from a few meters below the ground. The bauxite is then transported to plants where the clay is washed off and the bauxite passes through a grinder. Alumina, or aluminium oxide, is extracted from the bauxite through refining. Alumina is then separated from the bauxite by using a hot solution of caustic soda and lime. Afterwards, the mixture is heated and filtered, and the remaining alumina is dried to a white powder.
Next stop is the metal plant. Here, the refined alumina is transformed into aluminium. Three different raw materials are needed to make aluminium: aluminium oxide,...

Aluminium – How Aluminium Can Be Used To Shape The Future
Aluminium is truly the material of the future. Able to be shaped into virtually any design, Aluminium is durable and strong, completely recyclable and naturally resistant to corrosion.
In this video, aluminium is put under the microscope to show how and where aluminium can be used to shape the future of almost every industry.
Did you know that 75% of all the aluminium ever produced is still in use? This is thanks to aluminiums incredible recyclability – one day you might be drinking from an aluminium can and once recycled, that same aluminium could be part of the car driving you to work.

Firstly, thanks to Paul and Dana at AZ China for asking me to be the keynote for their annual Aluminium summit which is normally held in China but this year because of COVID-19, yet again, was held virtually.
Heavy industry is necessary in today’s world, after all we use huge quantities of aluminium, concrete, steel, and other products in all the things we see around us – from buildings and infrastructure to packaging, vehicles, and all manner of other things.
With foundations and processes that are over a century old though the industry on the one hand accounts for 7% of all global greenhouse gas emissions, and on the other, with the development of new alloys, holds the key to helping us create future products such as lighter aircraft, robots, and space craft, as well as opening the door to new architectural possibilities. And many more.
During my keynote I showed the audience how new Creative Machines from companies like Toyota are helping design new alloys 200x faster than previous methods, delved into the future of transportation and the debate about battery electric vehicles (BEV’s) and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV’s), and then looked at new energy and manufacturing processes which on the one hand will help the industry decarbonise quickly, and on the other will drive the debate about the aluminium casting, powder, scrap, and sheet markets.
The industry might be old, some might say ancient, and while we can use hydrogen, solar, and even floating mini nuclear reactors to decarbonise it, and even though modernisation will take a while we’ve started the journey.

Aluminium is fascinating, flexible and very versatile. But how is it made?
Aluminium production starts with the raw material bauxite, a clay like soil type found in a belt around the equator. The bauxite is mined from a few meters below the ground. The bauxite is then transported to plants where the clay is washed off and the bauxite passes through a grinder. Alumina, or aluminium oxide, is extracted from the bauxite through refining. Alumina is then separated from the bauxite by using a hot solution of caustic soda and lime. Afterwards, the mixture is heated and filtered, and the remaining alumina is dried to a white powder.
Next stop is the metal plant. Here, the refined alumina is transformed into aluminium. Three different raw materials are needed to make aluminium: aluminium oxide, electricity and carbon.
Electricity is run between a negative cathode and a positive anode, both made of carbon. The anode reacts with the oxygen in the alumina and forms CO2. The result is liquid aluminium, which can now be tapped from the cells. The liquid aluminium is cast into extrusion ingots, sheet ingots or foundry alloys, all depending on what it will be used for.
The next step is the extrusion process, where the aluminium ingot is heated and pressed through a shaped tool called a die. The extrusion technique has almost unlimited possibilities for design and offers countless application opportunities. Aluminium foundry alloys are cast in different shapes. The metal will be remelted again and made into, for example, wheel rims or other car parts.
Recycling scrap aluminium requires only 5 percent of the energy used to make new aluminium. Aluminium can be recycled over and over again with 100 percent efficiency. In other words, none of aluminiums natural qualities are lost in the recycling process. The recycled product may be the same as the original product, or it can become something completely different. Aircraft, automobiles, bicycles, boats, computers, household appliances, wire and cans are all sources for recycling.

Aluminium is truly the material of the future. Able to be shaped into virtually any design, Aluminium is durable and strong, completely recyclable and naturally resistant to corrosion.
In this video, aluminium is put under the microscope to show how and where aluminium can be used to shape the future of almost every industry.
Did you know that 75% of all the aluminium ever produced is still in use? This is thanks to aluminiums incredible recyclability – one day you might be drinking from an aluminium can and once recycled, that same aluminium could be part of the car driving you to work.
