Elysis Moves Toward Commercialization of Inert Anodes

Elysis, the joint venture formed by Alcoa and Rio Tinto, is making great strides toward the commercialization of its proprietary inert anode technology, which is said to be able to produce aluminum without any direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This would help to meet the primary aluminum industry’s need to reduce its carbon footprint. If fully implemented at existing smelters across Canada, the technology could eliminate the equivalent of 6.5 million tonnes of GHGs. In addition, it is expected to increase production by 15% and also to reduce operating costs by 15%, when compared to the traditional smelting process.
