Aluminium smelting accounts for over 3% of the world''s total electricity supply, which is equivalent to 16.5% of total global domestic consumption. In other words, the 200 smelters globally consume the equivalent amount of power as 1.2 billion people do domestically. The major challenge with aluminium smelting is that the process not only ...
Aluminium can be used to produce hydrogen and heat in reactions that yield 0.11 kg H 2 and, depending on the reaction, 4.2–4.3 kWh of heat per kg Al. Thus, the volumetric energy density of Al (23.5 MWh/m 3) 1 outperforms the energy density of hydrogen or hydrocarbons, including heating oil, by a factor of two (Fig. 3). ...
