Alcoa to test new steam tech in WA that could cut emissions 70pc

Alcoa will trial technology at its Wagerup alumina refinery to produce steam by renewable-powered compression instead of gas-fired heat that promises a 70% per cent emissions reduction.

Carbon Emissions

South32's coal-fired Worsley Alumina two-thirds dirtier than Alcoa

If South32’s low profile coal-burning Worsley Alumina operated like Alcoa’s facilities 1.5 million tonnes of carbon emissions a year would be avoided: the same as Alcoa's Wagerup refinery.

Carbon Emissions
