General comment An aluminium electrolysis facility is an industrial location where aluminium is produced through the electrolytic reduction of alumina. This process typically involves the use of the Hall-Héroult method, where alumina is dissolved in molten cryolite and electric current is passed through, resulting in the deposition of aluminium metal at the cathode. This description highlights the facility's specific technology and production capacity, electrical source, emission controls, adherence to environmental standards, purity of the aluminium produced, and whether the output is targeted for specific industries or general purposes. It also indicates if the aluminium is provided as a primary metal or comes from secondary recycling processes, and whether it is supplied 'to consumer' or 'at plant', with all details separated by commas.
