PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alcoa Corporation (NYSE: AA) today announced a development project with the potential to significantly reduce carbon emissions in the alumina refining process, which would further enhance the Company’s strong sustainability performance across the aluminum value chain.
The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has granted to Alcoa of Australia $8.8 million (A$11.3 million) to test the potential use of renewable energy in a process known as Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR). Alcoa of Australia is currently conducting technical and commercial studies to adapt MVR technology to refining. Electricity sourced from renewable energy would power compressors to turn waste vapor into steam, which would then be used to provide refinery process heat.
If the feasibility studies are successful, Alcoa of Australia plans to install, by the end of 2023 a three megawatt MVR module with renewable energy at the Wagerup refinery in Western Australia to test the technology at scale.
“Already, Alcoa is the world’s lowest carbon intensity alumina producer, and the application of MVR, if proven successful, would be an important step forward in further reducing greenhouse gas emissions,” said Eugenio Azevedo, Alcoa’s Vice President for Continuous Improvement. “Using lower carbon alumina in the smelting process will reduce the overall carbon footprint of the metal, too, when considering the indirect and direct emissions across bauxite mining, alumina refining and aluminum smelting and casting.”
The MVR technology powered by renewable energy could reduce an alumina refinery’s carbon footprint by 70 percent. The technology also has the potential to significantly reduce water use in the refining process by capturing water vapor that would otherwise be lost to the atmosphere.
Alcoa of Australia has filed provisional patent applications in Australia for the use of MVR technology in the alumina refining process. The patent applications cover a variety of MVR applications in retrofit and greenfield scenarios in refining.
The development project aligns with Alcoa’s strategic priority to “Advance Sustainably.” Today, Alcoa’s global refining system has the industry’s lowest average carbon intensity, and Alcoa is the only company providing a low-carbon alumina brand, EcoSourceTM. Marketed as part of the Company’s SustanaTM line of products, EcoSource has no more than 0.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents for every ton of smelter-grade alumina produced, which is better than 90 percent of the industry.

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#ACRP--XENDEE Corporation, Converge Strategies, Barrett Energy Resources Group, and Principal Investigator RMI have launched a new Airport Microgrid Implementation Toolkit designed to expedite the transition of airports and aerospace facilities to secure on-site Microgrids and distributed energy resources (DERs). The project, which was funded by the Airport Cooperative Research Program, seeks to provide airports with a standardized framework for increasing resilience and avoiding the disruptive impacts of electrical power loss. The toolkit itself is available for free online and leads airport staff through eight guided modules that introduce Microgrid concepts and best practices.
“When one of the world’s busiest airports came to a standstill in 2017 because of a power failure we saw how airport blackouts can cause cascading impacts not just regionally but across the country. This event underscored the importance of understanding the critical functions that would be impacted by electricity disruptions,” said Meredith Pringle, Director at Converge Strategies. “This toolkit seeks to address these concerns, and offers Airport staff an actionable framework for validating how a Microgrid or distributed energy resources could strengthen the energy resilience posture of their airport.”
To access the new toolkit, airport personnel can navigate to the Airport Microgrid Implementation Toolkit website and register for free. This will grant access to download the toolkit as well as a user guide that walks personnel through all eight modules explaining definitions and Microgrid concepts as it progresses. This toolkit also systematically leads airport personnel through the information gathering process, which is meant to organically involve other departments at the airport and to make sure the future needs of the airport are considered and the right maintenance decisions are being made.
“Energy resilience and security are becoming more important with each passing year as temperatures rise and the energy grid continues to age,” said Adib Naslé, CEO of XENDEE. “This toolkit was designed to help make the distributed energy transition process possible for airport facility owner/operators.”
With the energy goals of the airport defined as well as metrics like their critical loads, energy supply, and energy consumption, the toolkit will generate a project validation report. This report includes current and future energy needs, equipment already onsite, and suggestions for how much capacity will be required to meet the facilities’ security and sustainability goals. With this information, projects can easily be submitted to contractors for bids, or airports can engage with the project team directly and utilize their Microgrid design, optimization, training and consulting services directly through the US Government’s GSA catalog.
As more facilities complete the Airport Microgrid Implementation Toolkit, the project team will be updating and adapting their framework based on feedback and real world results. This will allow the framework to remain responsive as it addresses the ever evolving operational needs of modern aerospace facilities.
“The toolkit was developed and enhanced by our workshops and research at the Ithaca-Tompkins and Massport’s Hanscom Airports. However as more facilities move through the process and provide feedback we can add more data points and continue to refine the toolkit to address new technologies and emerging challenges,” said Dr. Michael Stadler, CTO of XENDEE.
A report on this toolkit, as well as its ability to address vulnerabilities in the existing electrical system, has also been published by the Transportation Research Board and is available here.
About XENDEE: XENDEE develops world-class Microgrid decision support software that helps designers and investors optimize and certify the resilience and financial performance of projects with confidence. The XENDEE Microgrid platform enables a broad audience; from business decision makers to scientists, with the objective of supporting investments in Microgrids and maintaining electric power reliability when integrating sources of renewable generation.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Submarine Market to 2031" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The "Global Submarine Market to 2031" report provides the market size forecast and the estimated Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for the next ten years. The report covers industry analysis including the key market drivers, trends, emerging technologies, and major challenges faced by industry participants. It also offers insights regarding key factors and government programs that are expected to influence the demand for submarines market over the forecast period.
Navies across the globe are enhancing their undersea warfare capabilities by commissioning advanced submarines, primarily to maintain/gain asymmetric advantages over their opponents and to protect their territorial waters against any intrusion. Disputes over offshore territories and maritime boundaries, due to the need to exploit offshore resources, including unexplored oil and gas reserves and fertile fishing zones, are expected to be a major driver of the strengthening of submarine-based capabilities for many nations. In addition, the need to maintain a credible sea-based deterrent by worldwide nuclear armed countries is expected to further drive investment in the procurement of submarines will continue to grow across the globe over the forecast period.
The Nuclear-powered attack submarine (SSN) segment is expected to be the largest segment and accounts for 36.1% of the global submarine market over the forecast period. The SSN segment is expected to receive robust investment over the forecast period, owing to the advantages associated with SSNs compared to conventionally-powered submarines. Nuclear submarines derive their energy from the on-board nuclear reactor, thereby becoming air independent and eliminating the need to surface. Also, the huge amount of power generated by the nuclear reactor helps the SSNs to operate at high speed for longer durations. According to Chandan Nayak, Defense Analyst at the publisher: "Various countries across the globe are focusing on the ongoing naval expansion initiatives, along with capability enhancement of existing submarine fleets in order counter adversary forces and to protect territorial waters, have resulted in the growth of submarine market over the next decade."
North America region is expected to dominate the global submarine market from 2021 to 2031. The US's dominance in the submarine market is influenced by the country's affinity for advanced military platforms in order to maintain an edge over its adversaries. The country is presently undertaking multiple high-value programs to procure new-generation submarines. For instance, the multi-billion dollar Columbia-class procurement program to develop and deploy 12 SSBNs will significantly increase the country's share of the global submarine market over the next decade.
