EcoSource is produced with no more than 0.6 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) per tonne of alumina, two times better than the industry’s average of 1.2 tonnes of CO2e. Alcoa’s measurement includes direct emissions from the Company’s bauxite mining and alumina refining processes and indirect emissions from the energy consumed in those processes.

Alcoa runs the global largest third-party alumina business, and its refining system has the industry’s lowest carbon footprint. The refineries that produce EcoSource™ alumina have an average carbon emissions profile better than 90% of the other alumina refineries operating today.

Roy Harvey, President and CEO, Alcoa said: “Alcoa’s line of Sustana™ products can provide advantages for customers who want to improve their environmental footprint.”

“Our leadership in sustainability is represented with emissions measured throughout the process. Not all aluminium is created equally, and our mine-to-metal approach is a key differentiator for these products.”

EcoSource™ alumina adds to Alcoa’s existing Sustana™ product line that also includes, EcoLum™ low-carbon aluminium that is produced with less than 4.0 metric tonnes of CO2e for every tonne of metal produced, including both direct and indirect emissions for bauxite mining, alumina refining, smelting and casting.
