 Assessment Of Techno-Economic Feasibility Of Carbon Capture And Storage (CCS) On Aluminium Potlines

Published in

2025

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology could be a key pillar in achieving full decarbonisation of aluminium smelting, according to a new report from AFRY commissioned by the International Aluminium Institute (IAI).

The comprehensive study, which examines the technical and economic feasibility of retrofitting CCS technology to existing aluminium potlines, finds that whilst CCS is technically viable, significant policy support and the broadening of carbon pricing will be essential to make it economically attractive.

This study builds upon Eunomia’s previous studies into materials decarbonisation pathways. The scope of this report is focused on aluminium in comparison to four competing materials— steel, copper, container glass, PVC —taken from the perspective of their global value chains. The analysis looks at the Net Zero pathways that are ...
