Technology Session | Technology, the inert anode and the real world

We are getting closer to the self-imposed date for the inert anode, but no closer when it comes to a general understanding of its role in the future of our industry. Even when the technology is declared as being available for sale, who is going to step up? Longer term, if we are going to achieve zero or near-zero aluminum, the inert anode needs to be a major part of the world’s primary aluminum production, but it’s very hard to see how that is going to happen.

Meantime, many companies are finding innovative ways to reduce emissions, and improve energy and operational efficiency. We will hear some great stories of breakthroughs and programs that have worked in today’s real world.

Key Questions to be addressed in this session
Is CCS the answer for more companies?
What are the other technologies we should be looking at for improving our environmental footprint?
What will happen once the inert anode is commercialized?
