Century Aluminum has recently been spotlighted by the US Department of Energy (DOE) as the recipient of up to $500 million in financing. This significant financial support is earmarked for the construction of a groundbreaking green aluminum smelter, marking a monumental stride in the US aluminum industry.
Announced on Monday, this funding initiative positions Century Aluminum at the forefront of industrial innovation, setting the stage for the establishment of the first new primary aluminum smelter in the United States in nearly half a century. Upon its completion, this pioneering smelter is poised to significantly amplify the capacity of the current US primary aluminum industry.
This development not only underscores the commitment of both Century Aluminum and the DOE towards sustainable industrial progress but also heralds a new era in aluminum production in the United States, promising to enhance the nation’s manufacturing prowess while aligning with environmental sustainability goals.
