RE:found this interesting
RE:found this interestingInteresting! Thanks! So, there is the possibility of a shortage. The same relationship exists with alumina and aluminium. Correct? How ill this coke shortage affect orbite SGA business? THere might be a bottleneck effect. IN any case, Orbite has other objectives, but this is good to know, ENd of 2016.

Petcoke is also the only commercial source of material used to manufacture electrolytic anodes that play a critical part in making aluminum. As a result - these industries are effectively joined at the hip - although you wouldn't know it because the two rarely cooperate. As Sandy Fielden explains in today's blog "I'd Like To Buy The World A Coke - Why Aluminum Producers Rely On Crude Refiners" that may need to change going forward because a looming petcoke shortage could disrupt aluminum production and prices.
