Alcoa Corp. unveiled a technology roadmap to support the Company?s vision to reinvent the aluminum industry for a sustainable future. The technologies in Alcoa?s roadmap, including a new, proprietary post-consumer scrap recycling process, have the potential to decarbonize a significant portion of the upstream aluminum supply chain and provide a competitive advantage in a carbon-constrained world. The roadmap, which aligns with the Company?s Purpose to ?Turn Raw Potential into Real Progress,? includes three key programs: The Refinery of the Future, which aims to both reduce the capital cost of developing a refinery and enable decarbonization of the alumina refining process. Alcoa would use a combination of processes and technologies that are under development, including mechanical vapor recompression and electric calcination to develop this future-focused design. The ASTRAEA? metal purification process developed by Alcoa for recycling post-consumer, aluminum scrap into high-purity aluminum. The process could create an entirely new value chain to economically produce aluminum of a quality that far exceeds the purity of the commercial-grade aluminum produced in a smelter. The ELYSIS? joint venture technology that eliminates all greenhouse gases from the traditional smelting process. The breakthrough process uses next-generation electrode design and proprietary materials first developed at the Alcoa Technical Center and emits pure oxygen as a byproduct at a lower operating and capital cost than conventional technology.
