South32 to study steam electrification options at Worsley Alumina

ASX-listed South32 will investigate steam electrification technologies to help decarbonise its Worsley Alumina refinery in Western Australia, supported by a A$4.4-million grant from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA). The prefeasibility study, funded under ARENA’s A$400-million Industrial Transformation Stream (ITS), will assess four investment options aimed at partially electrifying steam production, a major source of greenhouse gas emissions in alumina refining.
