Elysis announces breakthrough in its low-carbon production technology

Elysis announced the start-up of its new technology at a Rio Tinto smelter, which it said is the next step in the transition toward large-scale, low-carbon aluminum production.

Elysis, a Montréal, Canada-based partnership between Alcoa and Rio Tinto, developed a 450 kiloampere designed inert anode cell, which has been deployed at the end of an existing potline at the Rio Tinto’s smelter in Alma, Québec.
