End User aluminium recap: Volkswagen Slovakia, first VW Group unit moving toward carbon neutrality; GMG to spend AU$1.5 million for Phase 1 expansion of its graphene manufacturing project

EDITED BY : MAYURAKSHI GANGULY 6MINS READ

This week, Alcircle has launched the latest report titled, "Future of Aluminium in Transportation Sector - An industry analysis with forecasts to 2027”, discussing all the possible advancements in the aluminium industry in reference with the transport sector. The end user sector has been extremely productive this entire week. Volkswagen Slovakia is all ready to go carbon neutral by 2050 with the help of its Way to Zero initiative and the global Aluminium closed Loop Project, a process by which aluminium can be produced while saving 95 per cent energy. On the other hand, the Reveal Research Project brings together nine participants from seven European countries with the prime intention of producing aluminium from alumina in a way that emits the least amount of carbon dioxide. Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. declared the expansion of Phase 1 of its graphene manufacturing project to yield graphene aluminium-ion batteries. The Final Investment Decision will be of about AU$1.5 million.

We all know that aluminium is a versatile metal. From construction to automobiles, the use of aluminium is widespread. Although aluminium has been used in the transportation industry for a long time, it has recently taken centre stage due to concerns about climate change, strict pollution control requirements, and the pressing need to make cars much lighter. The country that uses aluminium the most in the transportation industry is China. In 2022, the nation's expected utilisation of aluminium in different transportation uses was 10.5 million tonnes.
