Rio Tinto boss on Albanese, clean smelting and low-carbon beer
Decarbonising Rio’s aluminium smelters is a priority when Kellie Parker talks to government. It was high on the agenda when she spoke to Carbon Challenge too.
Rio Tinto is one of the biggest power consumers in the National Electricity Market through its Tomago and Boyne aluminium smelters in NSW and Queensland respectively.
Mostly powered by fossil fuels, those smelters loom as Rio’s biggest opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint and achieve its goal of halving its global emissions by 2030.
