I was born in a small town where they built a large aluminium smelting facility in the 1950s, and I remember the alumina storage silos (we moved away in 1958, and it took me 60 years to find an opportunity for a visit). I had a textbook of industrial chemistry beside my bed as a teenager (I was lucky enough to have my own room). And it is my firm belief that the politics of decreasing the carbon dioxide footprint of major industrial processes are near impossible unless the people near the top of the chain of command understand the outlines of the processes.
For a start I think it could be an idea to read up on
