The biggest development of the twenty-first century is the international recognition of global warming and its adverse effects on the Earth's climate. Excessive carbon emissions or GHG footprints primarily cause overheating of the atmospheric dome, which may cause the protective ozone layer to erode, increasing the planet's temperature. Rising temperatures are a massive concern for the Earth's troposphere as it might not be able to deflect the heat waves, rather trapping them to turn the world into a blazing ball of fire. Naturally, this will cause the glaciers to melt, resulting in massive floods and augmented sea levels. It won't be long before the story of Noah's Ark gets repeated by a new clan of people after we get washed away by the gushing waters of the oceans and seas.
The aluminium industry is one of the most energy-intensive endeavours in human history, as the conventional process of primary aluminium production is quite elaborate and hasn't changed much in the past few decades. The Hall-Héroult process, which involves the electrolysis of alumina extracted from bauxite using carbon anodes, consumes around 13-15 kWh of electricity per kg of aluminium produced.
