Rio Tinto plc announced that ELYSIS, a joint venture with Alcoa Corporation, has successfully started up a commercial-size inert anode cell at its Alma smelter in Québec, Canada. The new 450 kiloampere inert anode cell represents the first implementation of this technology at such a scale, enabling aluminium production without direct carbon emissions from the smelting process. The project is supported by the governments of Canada and Québec and is part of Rio Tinto's long-term decarbonization strategy. Testing will continue on the large-scale cell to collect data for future commercial deployment.
