Biomaterials for carbon anode in aluminium production
Bio4anode
Aluminum is one of the world's most widely used and recycled metals. Fossils based carbon anodes are widely used in primary aluminum production. The consumption of carbon anodes is 380-450 kg for the production of 1 ton of aluminum. This means a carbon dioxide emission of 1.4-1.65 tons. In this project, KTH will cooperate with Swedish biochar producer and an aluminum industry to develop processes for high-quality bio-based raw materials used in carbon anode production for the aluminum industry.
Industrial partners are: Norsk Hydro, Envigas AB
