Product Information

After a brief pause in 2019, growth in aluminium production continued to be strong in 2020-2022 despite the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, with an average annual growth of more than 3%. While lower than the average annual growth of 6% from 2010-2018, growth in recent years was higher than for other key industrial materials such as steel and cement. Global aluminium demand is likely to continue growing in response to the increase in global population and GDP given that is is an important input to higher-value demand segments (e.g. vehicles and digital devices), and due to aluminium’s use in several technologies important to a net zero economy. China has announced that it will be including industrial facilities in its ETS from 2023 or 2024. Further, as part of its Pollution Reduction and Carbon Reduction Synergies Implementation Plan, the output of recycled aluminium will reach 11.5 Mt by 2025, and the proportion of renewable energy used in electrolytic aluminium will increase to more than 30% in 2030. The core primary production steps of alumina refining, anode production and aluminium smelting are responsible for almost 85% of aluminium’s direct CO 2 emissions, the rest being from recycled production and semi-finishing processes. Direct emissions can be reduced by deploying near zero-emission technologies, and by increasing the share of recycled production from post-consumer scrap to reduce reliance on primary production. The aluminium subsector can provide flexibility services by modulating demand, which will help integrate a higher portion of variable renewables into the grid. Electricity producers can offer electricity pricing incentives or contractual purchasing arrangements to aluminium producers using demand management systems – these are already employed by some grids for emergencies, and extending their use to broader grid management could support grid decarbonisation.

France announced in 2022 its industrial decarbonisation roadmap to 2030, which includes a plan to invest EUR 5.6 billion in decarbonisation initiatives for domestic industries, and released in 2021 a decarbonisation roadmap for mining and metallurgy, containing specific provisions for aluminium.

Intended Uses

Another method for reducing aluminium smelting emissions is through carbon capture and storage (CCS), although this is difficult to accomplish for aluminium because of its low concentrations of CO 2 (around 1%). Nevertheless, two firms – Aluminium Dunkerque, and Norsk Hydro – have recently announced that they are exploring options to use CCS for aluminium, with Norsk Hydro setting a goal of using CCS in an industrial-scale demonstration by 2030. Increasing investment in R&D and deployment for near zero-emission technologies essential to decarbonising process emissions from industry, including through direct support for pilots and demonstrations and mechanisms to mobilise private sector finance. Finishing: Clear, Colour & Hard Anodising, Painting/Powder Coating, Polishing and Foiling as well as Protective Coating and/or Sleeving of individual lengths for protection in transit and handling.

In the NZE Scenario, the emissions intensity of the total power mix declines by roughly 60% from today’s level by 2030. The aluminium industry should aim to reduce the intensity of its power supply by at least this much, including by reducing reliance on unabated coal-generated power. Over 150 RT Sections for Vehicle Body-building – Catalogue on this range available from your local Service CentreIf you want to create a clean finish for a ceiling, installing a metal frame ceiling system is a great choice. We provide everything you’ll need to complete the job right here at Fastbuild. Unless you are Sir Chris Hoy or a team pursuit rider, the chances are a standard, middle of the road chainset will do. What you are looking for is stiffness and longevity of wear. The thing to remember here that a top end Shimano or Campagnolo chainset won't feel any real different from a half the price Miche Primato Advanced chainset for example. Developing demand for low-carbon products and investment: 2022 saw the US-led First Movers Coalition, a platform for businesses and governments to leverage their purchasing power to decarbonise industry, launch its initiative for decarbonising aluminium. This looks to commit major consumers or producers, including Apple, Ford, Novelis, Volvo Group and Trafigura, to produce/procure low-carbon aluminium. The latter launched a financing platform of up to USD 500 million for clean aluminium financing. Aluminum U Channel: U channels are a type of aluminum channel that typically feature additional fabrication following extrusion, the process by which long lengths of aluminum shapes are extruded through a press formed from raw aluminum billet into a desired cross-section. For beginners, a standard drop handlebar is all you need. If you want to do pursuit or do individual timed events it'll be worth investing in a set of aero tri bars. Without any brake or gear cables to worry about, changing between is very simple.

Anodised aluminium channel is also available. Natural anodised material is a transparent coat for added protection. NID cookie, set by Google, is used for advertising purposes; to limit the number of times the user sees an ad, to mute unwanted ads, and to measure the effectiveness of ads.

FAQ

For alumina refining, in Brazil, the Alunorte refinery installed a 60 MW electric boiler in 2022 to provide a portion of the plant’s steam demand, the first known use of an electric boiler for alumina globally, and is looking at installing another two, while a similar option is also being demonstrated in the Republic of Ireland. Alcoa is piloting electric calcination to displace fossil fuels in Australian alumina refining, and following a successful feasibility study is now constructing a facility using mechanical vapour recompression (a type of heat pump) for steam generation beginning operation in 2024. Additionally, in 2022 Rio Tinto published a feasibility study on the use of hydrogen to generate the heat required for alumina refining at its refinery in Yarwun, Australia. Electrical and thermal energy storage might also play a role, enabling the industry to use variable renewables as energy sources. Here at Fastbuild, we offer a great selection of trade-standard stud partition wall equipment, a go-to choice for installing internal walls. China is expected to expand their new Emissions Trading System (ETS) in 2023 or 2024 to cover industry, including aluminium. If sufficiently stringent, this could incentivise significant emissions reductions, as China remains by far the largest producer of alumina and primary aluminium (almost60% of global production in 2022). Countries making important notable progress in decarbonising aluminium production include the following:

Prefabrication: Aalco provides everything from Drilling, Notching, Slotting, Punching, Bending, Machining (Turning, Routing, Milling) and Threading to Laser & Water-jet cutting of shapes delivering ready for use parts at or near net-shape. Aluminium is the go-to metal for home and DIY projects as it's both lightweight and highly versatile, this suits applications such as greenhouses or caravan refurbishment.A cookie set by YouTube to measure bandwidth that determines whether the user gets the new or old player interface.

The main thing to look out for here is bolt circle diameter or BCD (the measurement between the chainring bolts on your chainring and chainset usually measured in millimeters), if you want to be able to swap out your chainring to change your gear ratio. It doesn't really matter what size you have, the most important thing to remember is that you need to match the chainset's spider arms with the chainring BCD size and positioning otherwise it will not fit. Total direct emissions from the global aluminium sector have been steadily rising over the past decade, driven by increasing production. This is even as the emissions intensity of aluminium production has been moderately declining, by about 1.7% per year on average, driven largely by a declining energy intensity of alumina production. The average rate of decline was highest from 2014 to 2019, and has slowed considerably since then. The sector was directly responsible for almost 270 Mt of CO 2 emissions in 2022 (a 1.7% increase on 2021), and if indirect emissions from electricity consumption are included, that number jumps to around 1 Gt of CO 2.
