Aluminium industry's focus on efficien use of energy from mine to market

摘要

The aluminium industry is continuously researching on new technological development and upgradation of systems equipment to utilize energy more efficiently on a priority basis since the demands for improved environmental performance, increased energy efficiency, price fluctuations and intense competition are some of the major challenges being faced by aluminium producers. Aluminium products can be turned into recycled aluminium, thereby reclaiming up to 95 percent of the energy used in primary production. The reuse of used aluminium products is thus both energy-efficient and cost-effective. Energy consumption throughout the production process can only be reduced by technological development and upgraded systems equipment.
