TOKYO, June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Faraday Factory Japan LLC has started supplying high-temperature superconductor (HTS) tape to Vision Electric Super Conductors GmbH (VESC). By 2027, VESC will manufacture and install a 600 meter long superconducting busbar system with 200,000 Ampere current-carrying capacity to power electrolysis cells at smelter facility in Hamburg, Germany. While operating at cryogenic temperatures, this new superconducting system will offer significantly greater energy efficiency than conventional solutions achieve. This milestone marks the largest deployment of HTS technology in aluminum industry to date.

According to the International Aluminium Institute, aluminum smelting industry has an estimated annual output of 72+ million tons with the average energy intensity of 135 kWh per kilogram. The Hamburg project aims to demonstrate the massive energy-saving potential of superconductor busbars for aluminum smelting, as well as for other electrolysis processes, data centers, solar fields, and railways.

“This first-of-a-kind project is of particular importance for us, as it paves the way for market adoption of superconductors in strategically important industries like electrolysis production of metals and gases,” said Dr. Sergey Lee, CEO of Faraday Factory Japan.
