Strong Foundation for Growth, Decarbonisation and Shareholder Returns

ELYSIS™ zero carbon metal meets new market demand LOW CARBON FOOTPRINT PRODUCTS: AN IRREVERSIBLE TREND Aluminium has always been the leading choice for sustainable product development due to its light-weight, strength and infinite recyclability. This technology takes the miracle metal's sustai- nable advantage to a new level. ELYSIS™ technology will allow the production of widely used products with less impact on our environment. WORLD-CLASS PARTNERSHIP ELYSIS Alcoa Rio Tinto Québec Canada CARBON-FREE SMELTING. LOWER OPERATING COST. HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY. THE BENEFITS OF THE TECHNOLOGY ARE NUMEROUS : سرم Completely eliminates direct greenhouse gas emissions 2 and other by-products in the aluminium smelting process. Potential to reduce GHG emissions in Canada by approxi- mately 7 million metric tons. This would represent close to 20% of both Quebec and British Columbia's total industrial emissions. Will allow the production of greener products: smartphones, cars, planes, construction supplies, etc. Reduces operating costs through the reduction of anode consumption. Increases the productivity of aluminium smelters. © 2018-2021, ELYSIS Limited Partnership, All rights reserved.
