Pri mary alu miniu m production fro m alu miniu m oxide in the Netherlands i s located at Aldel, in the Dutch city of Delfzijl. The largest secondary alu miniu m producers, using mostly scrap, are E - M A X in Kerkrade and Zalco in Vlissingen. Aluche mie in Rotterda m and Century in Vlissingen are the producers of prebaked carbon anodes f or t he pri mary alu miniu m electrolysis process. E missions and the production capacity of each of those sites are su m marized in Table S1. The main direct C O 2 e missions are related to the use of carbon anodes at Aldel (process e missions), fro m ther mal fuel use in the melting furnaces at Aldel, Zalco and E - M A X, and fro m ther mal fuel use in the baking process of anodes at Aluche mie and Century. Indirect e missions associated with po wer generation for the energy - i nte nsive electrolysis process at Aldel are not included. PF C e missions consist of organic F - gas e missions, which may substantially contribute to global war ming. These e missions may occur at the anode, during the process of pri mary alu miniu m production. Aldel is currently scaling up production to its o ri g i nal c a p acity.

The study is part of the MI D DE N project ( Manufacturing Industry Decarbonisation Data Exchange Net work). The MI D DE N project ai ms to support industry, policy makers, analysts, and the energy sector in their co m mon efforts to achieve deep decarbonisation. The MI D DE N project will update and e laborate further on options in the future, in close connection with the industry.

The personal touch and the fact that their opinion is sought, was rated very positively. The study paints a clear picture of the current review of the PT in East Groningen and the ideas about its future. Furthermore the research brought to light a number of specific issues and could form a solid foundation for further development of future transport concepts that maintains the viability and accessibility of East Groningen. 2 Satisfaction with current public transport The insufficient supply of PT in the area leads to low usage and low satisfaction with the PT network.

The number of earthquakes recorded in 2012, 2013 and 2014 Bijlage(n) (until 9 December) were 93, 119 and 77 respectively. In the same period there were a total of 20, 29 and 18 tremors respectively that measured more than 1.5 on the Richter scale. It is anticipated that the strength and frequency of the earthquakes will increase over the coming years. The consequences for houses, monuments and other buildings are plain to see. The Groningen field lies in the municipalities of Appingedam, Bedum, Bellingwedde, Delfzijl, Eemsmond, Groningen, Haren, Hoogezand-Sappemeer, Loppersum, Menterwolde, Oldambt, Pekela, Slochteren, Ten Boer and Veendam. The sense of having a safe living environment has been eroded in the area where there are (frequent) earthquakes. This deeply affects the daily life of the residents. At the same time, gas extraction is essential to our energy supply in the Netherlands. The great majority of Dutch households use Groningen gas for their heating and cooking. Gas extraction is also an important source of revenue for the Dutch state.

  • Department of Justice Will Require a Divestiture If Alcan Inc. Completes Its Pending Tender Offer for Pechiney S.A
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AT MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2003 (202) 514-2007 WWW.USDOJ.GOV TDD (202) 514-1888 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WILL REQUIRE A DIVESTITURE IF ALCAN INC. COMPLETES ITS PENDING TENDER OFFER FOR PECHINEY S.A. Sale of Pechiney’s Ravenswood, West Virginia, Aluminum Rolling Mill and Related Assets Will Preserve Competition in the North American Market for Brazing Sheet WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Department of Justice reached a settlement today with Alcan Inc. that requires Alcan to divest Pechiney S.A.’s aluminum rolling mill in Ravenswood, West Virginia, if Alcan’s pending $4.6 billion tender offer for Pechiney is successful. The tender offer, publicly announced in early July and recently endorsed by Pechiney’s board of directors, is expected to be completed in late November 2003. The Department said that the acquisition, as originally proposed, would substantially lessen competition in the development, production, and sale of brazing sheet, an aluminum alloy used in fabricating radiators, oil coolers, heaters, and air conditioning units for motor vehicles, and would likely result in higher prices. The Department’s Antitrust Division filed a lawsuit today in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. to block the original transaction. At the same time, the Department filed a proposed consent decree that, if approved by the court, would resolve the Department's competitive concerns and the lawsuit. “The divestiture of Pechiney’s Ravenswood mill will preserve competition for brazing sheet sold in North America, and will allow motor vehicle parts manufacturers to benefit from Alcan’s aggressive competition,” said R. Hewitt Pate, Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Department’s Antitrust Division.

    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division 1401 H Street, NW Suite 3000 Case No. 1:03CV02012 Washington, DC 20530, Plaintiff, v. JUDGE: Gladys Kessler ALCAN INC., 1188 Sherbrooke Street West DECK TYPE: ANTITRUST Montreal, Quebec, Canada H3A 3G2; DATE: September 29, 2003 ALCAN ALUMINUM CORP., 6060 Parkland Boulevard Cleveland, OH 44124-4185; PECHINEY, S.A., 7, Place Du Chancelier Adenauer CEDEX 16 – 75218 – Paris France; and PECHINEY ROLLED PRODUCTS, LLC, Rural Route 2 Ravenswood, WV 26164-9802, Defendants. COMPLAINT The United States of America, acting under the direction of the Attorney General of the United States, brings this civil antitrust action to obtain equitable relief against defendants, and alleges as follows: 1. In early July 2003, Alcan Inc. (“Alcan”) launched a $4.6 billion tender offer for Pechiney, S.A. (“Pechiney”), which was later endorsed by Pechiney’s board of directors. The United States seeks to enjoin this proposed acquisition, which, if consummated, would result in consumers paying higher prices for brazing sheet, an aluminum alloy used in making heat exchangers for motor vehicles. 2. Alcan, through its United States subsidiary (Alcan Aluminum Corp.), and Pechiney, through its United States subsidiary (Pechiney Rolled Products, LLC), are, respectively, the second and fourth largest producers of brazing sheet in North America. Brazing sheet consists of a class of layered aluminum alloys, each of which has a unique ability to form a uniform, durable, leak-proof bond with other aluminum surfaces. Brazing sheet is widely used in fabricating the major components of heat exchangers for motor vehicles, including engine cooling (e.g., radiators and oil coolers) and climate control (e.g., heaters and air conditioners) systems.
