Geoff Matthews presents the case for fundamentally changing the way aluminium smelters consume energy.

April 2017: 7th International Conference on Electrodes, Reykjavik, Iceland, 'Fundamentally changing the way Primary Aluminium Smelters Consume Energy'

Trimet, Germany’s largest producer of aluminum, is testing technology to turn its smelters into a "virtual battery" capable of delivering 1.12 gigawatt-hours of flexible capacity.

Interview with Geoff Matthews and Dr. Mark Dorreen from Energia Potior in Light Metal Age on the problem with the current aluminium smelting model and what can be done about it.

Aluminium International Today: "Can breaking the constraints of current cell designs and opening up the operating energy-use window, create new opportunities for smelters?" By Dr. Linda Wright.

Dr. Mark Dorreen presented to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Power & Energy Conference in, Charlotte, NC, USA. View his full presentation here.

Phil Black shares his thoughts of what a sustainable aluminium world would look like after attending the 2016 AluSolutions conference.

This article is a contextual think-piece which summarises the potential impact the newly developed EnPot aluminium smelter technology could have on the economics of aluminium production.

The EnPot technology has the potential to transform the economics of global primary aluminium production.

May 2016: AluSolutions Conference - Abu Dhabi, 'Can the aluminium smelting industry be part of the solution?'

EnPot fundamentally transforms the way electricity is consumed during the aluminium smelting process.

At the 2016 TMS Annual Aluminum Reduction Technology Symposium, Roman Düssel, Till Reek, Pretesh Patel, Nicholas Depree presented on how flexible aluminium smelters could change the game.

Dr Mark Dorreen, Technical Director of Energia Potior Ltd, says the EnPot technology is a non-invasive, low risk, high benefit technology.
