[SMM Aluminum Flash News] AnorTech and NRC Partner to Develop Alumina-Based CO₂ Capture Materials

Published: Jun 10, 2026 17:45 (GMT+8)
AnorTech Inc. has entered a one-year research collaboration with the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) to develop alumina-based materials for carbon dioxide capture. The project will focus on amine-functionalised alumina adsorbents designed to improve CO₂ adsorption capacity, selectivity and long-term stability. The alumina samples are sourced from AnorTech’s Gronne Bjerg anorthosite project in Greenland and processed in Canada. Testing will be conducted under various operating conditions, including different temperatures, humidity levels and simulated flue gas environments. The collaboration builds on earlier work involving alumina-based catalysts for converting captured CO₂ into methane through hydrogenation and could support future commercial applications of sustainable alumina in carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technologies.
