Rio Tinto has started the commissioning process for a new 1.5 billion dollar aluminium smelter designed to reduce the carbon footprint of metal production. This project represents a significant investment in industrial decarbonization and the transition to greener smelting technologies. The facility aims to lower greenhouse gas emissions associated with aluminium smelting, one of the most energy intensive industrial processes. This move aligns with broader goals to decarbonize heavy industry and integrate cleaner energy sources into the production chain.
