AlCircle: How is the Australian Aluminium Council helping to promote sustainable bauxite mining and metal production?
Mr Mike Ferraro: Aluminium is one of the commodities most widely used in the global clean energy transition. Transitioning the world towards green energy sources will require 50% more aluminium than the electricity sector consumes today. Australia is one of the very few countries which has an integrated value chain, from bauxite mining all the way through to extrusion industries.
Today, Australia is the world’s largest producer of bauxite, the largest exporter of alumina, and the seventh-largest producer of aluminium.
Australia has more than 60 years of technical experience in bauxite mining, alumina refining, and primary aluminium smelting, which not only helps us, but our customers, reach their sustainability goals.
…and so much more!
