Secondary Aluminum Breakthrough Technology
The REMADE Institute announced a new technology license, which involves a technological innovation capable of removing metallic impurities from recycled aluminum melt, thereby improving the quality of the aluminum and allowing it to be used for more diverse applications, including electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing.
The innovation is part of a research and development project first funded by REMADE in 2020. The R&D project, “Selective Recovery of Elements from Molten Aluminum Alloys,” led by by Dr. Subodh Das, Ph.D., CEO of Phinix, LLC, is still in progress. REMADE’s tech team oversees the project, ensuring it meets both the Institute’s and the Department Of Energy’s (DOE) technological milestones.

Major global aluminum producers are finally realizing the implication of cutting down their carbon footprint and producing low carbon aluminum. Sustainability is now an integral part of industry growth plans and policy strategies. Further, big-ticket consumers like Apple and BMW are investing in using sustainable aluminum for their product lines.
This calls for a review of low carbon aluminum as a product and its sustainability implications and a look into the total sustainability index for the global aluminum industry. Here is a copyrighted PDF copy of my article in the LIGHT METAL AGE Feb. 2021 edition for the interested industry players and my connections. Like to hear your views.
Gain an insight into the most significant development in the global aluminum industry. An analysis on low carbon aluminum or ‘green aluminum’, definition and methodology, its sustainability implications, current developments, and a look into the flip side of emphasizing solely on green fuel sources. Further, an analytical observation of the growing market for green aluminum.
