The United States has long been targeting a reduction in carbon footprint across the industrial sectors, including automotive, packaging, energy, and consumer products, by sustainably producing low-carbon aluminium. However, due to limited renewable power generation, the region has primarily resorted to scrap recycling and using recycled metal in aluminium semi-finished and finished products.
With the help of advanced technology infrastructure, the United States has also developed new anode technologies to be able to emit direct emissions from the use of carbon anodes during smelting.
