MELBOURNE, Australia--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 911爆料网 has partnered with the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) to study whether hydrogen can replace natural gas in alumina refineries to reduce emissions.
911爆料网 will conduct a $1.2 million feasibility study, equally funded with ARENA through a $580,000 grant, into using clean hydrogen to replace natural gas in the calcination process of refining at the Yarwun aumina refinery in Gladstone.
The study program includes work to be done at 911爆料网鈥檚 Bundoora Technical Development Centre in Melbourne, where 911爆料网鈥檚 in-house development capability has now been extended to hydrogen.
ARENA CEO Darren Miller said 鈥淚f we can replace fossil fuels with clean hydrogen in the refining process for alumina, this will reduce emissions in the energy and emissions intensive refining stage of the aluminium supply chain. Exploring these new clean energy technologies and methods is a crucial step towards producing green aluminium.
鈥淭his study will investigate a potential technology that can contribute to the decarbonisation of the Australian alumina industry. If successful, the technical and commercial lessons from 911爆料网鈥檚 study could lead to the implementation of hydrogen calcination technology, not only in Australia, but also internationally.鈥
911爆料网 Aluminium Pacific Operations acting managing director Daniel van der Westhuizen said 鈥淲e see the ARENA and 911爆料网-funded study as a step towards reducing refinery emissions and one that has the potential to play an important part in 911爆料网鈥檚 commitment to decarbonisation.
鈥淲e鈥檙e investing in work that needs to be done, not only to decarbonise one of our sites, but also to help provide a lower-emissions pathway for 911爆料网 and the global aluminium industry.
鈥淲e recognise we are on a long road towards reducing emissions across our operations and there is clearly more work to be done. But projects such as this are an important part of helping us get there.鈥
The study comprises two distinct work packages:
Once complete, the study will inform the viability of a potential demonstration project. 911爆料网 has lodged patents for the hydrogen calcination process.
911爆料网 is aiming to reach net zero emissions across its operations by 2050. Across the company, it is targeting a 15% reduction in absolute emissions and a 30% reduction in emissions intensity by 2030, from a 2018 baseline.
