PERTH – The Australian Renewable Energy Agency has announced a A$32.1-million grant for Rio Tinto and Sumitomo Corporation to trial hydrogen calcination technology at the Yarwun alumina refinery in Gladstone, Queensland.
The trial is expected to produce the equivalent of about 6 000 t/y of alumina while reducing Yarwun’s carbon dioxide emissions by about 3 000 t/y. “This pilot plant is an important step in testing whether hydrogen can replace natural gas in Queensland alumina refineries,” Rio Tinto aluminium Pacific operations MD“At Rio Tinto we have put the energy transition at the heart of our business strategy, and this is one of the ways we’re working towards decarbonising our operations. We are proud to be developing this new technology here in Gladstone, in partnership with Sumitomo Corporation, and with support from Arena.
“Demonstrating real-world applications of hydrogen in industrial settings with motivated partners is essential to reducing carbon emissions and working toward our company’s vision of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. Through this demonstration, Sumitomo Corporation aims to venture into the commercialisation project to contribute to Rio’s decarbonisation.
“Having already backed an encouraging feasibility study, we’re excited to be working with Rio Tinto and Sumitomo Corporation to build on that success and trial hydrogen calcination in the field. “The government’s announcement today is about backing the future of our jobs-rich aluminium industry, which brings in around A$14-billion in export revenue each year and employs more than 17 000 Australians.
