Brimstone to produce smelter grade alumina enhancing US aluminium supply chain

The Importance of Alumina in the Aluminium Industry

Alumina, a key component in the production of aluminium, is a crucial material in the manufacturing of various products, including aircraft, automotive parts, and packaging materials. The global demand for aluminium is projected to increase by 5% annually, driven by the growing need for sustainable and lightweight materials in various industries.

The Role of Smelter-Grade Alumina

Smelter-grade alumina is a high-purity form of alumina that is used as a raw material in the production of aluminium. It is essential for the manufacture of high-quality aluminium products, such as aircraft and automotive parts. The production of smelter-grade alumina is a complex process that requires significant energy and resources.

Key Characteristics of Smelter-Grade Alumina

High purity (>99%)

Low impurity levels

High alumina content (>99%)

Low iron and titanium content

The Benefits of Decarbonised Cement Manufacturing

Brimstone’s decarbonised cement manufacturing process is a significant development in the production of smelter-grade alumina.

The Deal: A Breakthrough in Clean Energy Funding

The agreement marks a significant milestone in Brimstone’s mission to develop and deploy innovative clean energy technologies. The funding will be used to support the development of Brimstone’s proprietary carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology, which has the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from industrial sources.

Key Benefits of the Deal

The funding will enable Brimstone to accelerate the development of its CCUS technology, which could lead to a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from industrial sources. The deal provides a strong foundation for Brimstone’s future growth and expansion, enabling the company to pursue new business opportunities and partnerships. The partnership with the US Department of Energy’s Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations demonstrates Brimstone’s commitment to clean energy and its potential to make a meaningful impact on the environment.

The Vision of Brimstone

Brimstone’s ambitious goal is to create a self-sufficient US alumina industry, reducing the country’s reliance on imported bauxite.

Brimstone is also actively engaging with potential customers and testing its deeply decarbonised cement and SCM.
