Low Carbon Aluminium
Shenyang LONGi supports SMM in creating the "National Low-Carbon Aluminium Foundry Enterprise Allocation Map SMM 2027"
To systematically build a new ecosystem for the green development of the aluminium casting alloy industry and help enterprises accurately connect with high-quality supply chain resources, SMM officially launched the SMM 2027 Low-Carbon Aluminium Casting Alloy Enterprise Distribution Map . This map will provide a panoramic view of the structure of China's low-carbon aluminium casting alloy industry, focusing on key data such as regional distribution of enterprises, major products, low-carbon certification qualifications, and annual capacity scale, forming an authoritative platform for industry resource comparison. SMM Shanghai Metals Market hereby invites upstream and downstream stakeholders to jointly participate in the development and promotion of this map. We welcome partners from all...
Red mud-based concrete cuts carbon footprint by up to 79.8% in Trinity College Dublin study
Researchers at Trinity College Dublin are testing a new type of concrete made using red mud, a residue from alumina refining. The project, supported by Enterprise Ireland and carried out with Gannon Eco and McGrath Quarries, has progressed from laboratory research to trials using industrial batching equipment. The university reported on 22 October that the geopolymer concrete formulations reduced the carbon footprint by 67.8–79.8 per cent against a CEM II-A/L cement reference. The comparison included raw material supply, transport and manufacturing. To know the futuristic market and value proposition of red mud, explore the report " A Comprehensive Analysis of Bauxite Residue (Red Mud): Sustainability, Resource Recovery and Strategic Recommendations " Laboratory tests also found that the...

Hydro reports $965m Q3 EBITDA on strong aluminium prices and record Norwegian smelter output
Hydro reported higher adjusted earnings in the third quarter of 2026, supported by strong aluminium prices, record liquid metal production from its Norwegian smelters and improved performance in Recycling and Extrusions. Adjusted EBITDA rose to NOK 9 billion (USD 965 million) from NOK 8.92 billion (USD 957 million) in the second quarter, an increase of around 0.9 per cent quarter-on-quarter. Adjusted earnings per share increased to NOK 2.3 (USD 0.25) from NOK 1.0 (USD 0.11) in the third quarter of 2025, a rise of 130 per cent year on year. The company generated free cash flow of NOK 1.4 billion (USD 150 million) during the quarter. Strong adjusted EBITDA was partly offset by higher net operating capital, mainly due to increased metal prices, working capital requirements and prepayments....
Hydro reaches key milestone in development of zero-emission aluminium technology
Hydro has produced aluminium using its new HalZero electrolysis technology for the first time. The milestone marks an important step in Hydro’s work to develop a new primary aluminium production process with the aim of achieving net-zero emissions. Since 2016, Hydro’s technology teams have been working to develop HalZero, an entirely new process for producing primary aluminium, which could replace the technology used globally today, first patented in 1886. The new technology is based on converting alumina into aluminium chloride before electrolysis in a process designed to keep chlorine and carbon in closed loops. The long-term ambition is to eliminate CO2 emissions from both electrolysis and anode production, releasing oxygen instead of CO2. Hydro has now produced metal from aluminium...
Foshan Xinshenghao supports SMM in creating the "2027 SMM national low-carbon cast aluminium alloy enterprise distribution map"
To systematically build a new ecosystem for the green development of the cast aluminium alloy industry and help enterprises precisely connect with high-quality supply chain resources, SMM has officially launched the compilation of the 2027 SMM Low-Carbon Cast Aluminium Alloy Enterprise Distribution Map. This distribution map will provide a panoramic view of China's low-carbon cast aluminium alloy industry layout, focusing on key data such as enterprise regional distribution, core products, low-carbon certification qualifications, and annual capacity scale, creating an authoritative platform for industrial resource matching. Here, SMM joins hands with Foshan Xinshenghao Aluminium Co., Ltd . to invite upstream and downstream entities to jointly participate in the production and promotion of...
Enova supports development of zero-emission aluminium technology with NOK 82 million
Enova, a state enterprise owned by the Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment, has awarded Hydro close to NOK 82 million for a feasibility study for the next phase in the development of HalZero, Hydro’s technology for aluminium production with net-zero CO2 emissions. The funding from Enova will be used for concept development and planning of an industrial pilot facility (Industrial Concept Pilot, ICP), laying the foundation for further development and scaling of the technology. “The support from Enova enables us to further develop the plans for the next phase of HalZero. This is an important step in developing and scaling the technology toward potential deployment at industrial scale,” says Hanne Simensen, Executive Vice President of Hydro Aluminium Metal. HalZero is Hydro’s...
