We've partnered with Aymium to find better ways to use biocarbon as a substitute for fossil fuels since 2022. Our partnership has reached a new milestone: the creation of Évolys, a biocarbon joint venture to manufacture a renewable metallurgical biocarbon product to reduce carbon emissions in large scale industrial processes. Évolys will be established at the site of a former pulp mill in Thurso, Quebec, ensuring access to readily available biomass residues. This means locally produced, high-quality biocarbon that reduces the carbon footprint of our Quebec operations and is in line with our commitment to decarbonisation. #FindingBetterWays

With our venture Nuton, we're taking steps to explore ways to unlock more copper across the globe. In Peru, at the AntaKori Project, together we’re evaluating options to develop a large copper sulphide resource that is not easily accessible through traditional processing.

For Azariah, helping the next generation become successful in what they want to do warms his heart.  "I feel so proud when I see the boys graduate on that last day. There are a lot of tears shed on both sides," Azariah said. "Seeing them walk out the school gates with their chests out, big smiles on their faces, knowing that we'll always be there for them." Azariah is a Director at the Clontarf Foundation in Australia. He works with young Indigenous men, encouraging them to stay in school and achieve their potential. We have partnered with the Clontarf Foundation since 2008 and are one of the leading employers of Clontarf’s Year 12 graduates, with students going on to join our business in many areas. 📽️ Listen to why Azariah's joined the Clontarf Foundation and the difference he is making in young mens' lives 👇 and read more about the Clontarf Foundation 👉 https://lnkd.in/gbR8fqAx #Partnerships #FindingBetterWays

Our Q2 results are in — we're growing with discipline in the materials the world needs for the energy transition, with improvements at our bauxite and copper operations. “Our operational performance continues to progress," Rio Tinto Chief Executive Jakob Stausholm said. "While there are still significant improvements ahead, we're beginning to see a step-change in production from our Queensland bauxite business following the roll-out of the Safe Production System. "Construction of the Simandou high grade iron ore project in Guinea is advancing at pace, the ramp up of the Oyu Tolgoi underground is on track and we are set to achieve first production from the Rincon starter plant by the end of the year." #FindingBetterWays #results

We’ve been working on a new approach to how we treat residue due left over from alumina refining — commonly know as red mud. Rehabilitating red mud is a ongoing challenge for the mining industry, but we are making progress. The research teams at The University of Queensland led by Professor Longbin Huang, have been working at alumina refineries in Queensland and the Northern Territory to scale up larger trials of a new eco-engineering solution. Field trials have shown it’s possible to rehabilitate extremely alkaline or saline bauxite residues this way within 2–3 years. 👉 For the full story: https://lnkd.in/gVRAvQ3U #FindingBetterWays

Copper is a big part of everyday life. From our pots and pans, phones and other electronics to wind turbines and electric vehicles, it's a critical material. As the world strives for renewable energy and electrification, the global demand for copper is set to grow. With Nuton, we're aiming to unlock the copper the world needs by using nature-based technologies. Learn more about Nuton 👉 https://nuton.tech/ #FindingBetterWays #Copper #Nuton

We strive to support the communities where we operate and improve lives by contributing to social and economic outcomes, all while respecting and protecting their connection to culture and nature. In Mongolia, we have completed renovations on a 10.2 hectare children's park in the capital, Ulaanbaatar. The sustainable green park now includes: 🎤 Community facilities, like an amphitheater. 🍃 A children's playground. 🛹 A skatepark. 💧 A rainwater harvesting irrigation system 💦 A pond. 🌳 Around 80% of the park is green space with 40,000 trees, shrubs and grass. We will continue to manage the park for another 2 years and then it will transition to the Ulaanbaatar City Administration. Check out the 📸 of the new park 👇.
