Alcoa (formerly known as Alcoa Upstream) is a company that produces and sells bauxite, alumina, and aluminum products. It is engaged in bauxite mining operations, processes bauxite into alumina, and sells bauxite to customers who process it into industrial chemical products. The company is also involved in the aluminum smelting, casting, and rolling businesses.
Also, Rio Tinto is a global mining and metals company. Its focus is on finding, mining, and processing mineral resources. The company produces iron ore, aluminum, copper, diamonds, coal, uranium, gold, and industrial minerals (borates, titanium dioxide, and salt).
Lankwitzer Lackfabrik’s liquid coatings business for aluminium wheels was acquired by AkzoNobel in December 2022; enriching their performance coatings portfolio with Lankwitzer products as well as their existing range of powder coatings. It is expected that this acquisition will enable the expansion of product ranges, particularly targeting the automotive industry, where Lankwitzer’s paints are already approved by key car manufacturers such as Daimler, Audi, and VW.
In November 2021, Saturnose stated its plans to make a solid-state rechargeable aluminum battery based on the Enhanced Altered Aluminum Ion (Ea2I) battery chemistry that was subjected to independent testing. In its first year of operation in 2022, it will be the initial commercial-grade aluminum-ion solid-state battery, opening up a long, drawn-out gradual exit from lithium-ion battery chemistry that is considered more dangerous.
In November 2021, Rio Tinto spent $87m on its AP60 smelter in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec to increase its low-carbon aluminum production in Canada with 16 new smelting cells. The company says that they plan to produce 86,500 metric tonnes of primary aluminium per annum at the facility – this is an increase of nearly 45% or around 26,500 metric tonnes due to this investment. According to Rio Tinto, global aluminum demand is expected to grow at a CAGR of about 3.3% over the next ten years driven by solid demand for energy transition and decarbonization.
In July 2024, Hydro signed a partnership agreement with Interpon in order to develop sustainable coating solutions.
