Some of the technologies needed to achieve net zero don’t exist yet, so we need to contribute, support and partner to make it a reality. We’re leveraging and investing in research and development and technology to improve the environmental, social and governance performance of our aluminium business by: ☑ Working with CarbFix to advance carbon storage solutions at our ISAL smelter in Iceland. ☑ Investing $1.1 billion in AP60 technology at our aluminium smelter at Complexe Jonquière in Canada. ☑ Working with Sumitomo Corporation to develop hydrogen technology with support from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency and Sumitomo. ☑ Supporting breakthrough technologies like ELYSIS™. We're optimistic about the role science and technology can play in helping us leave a smaller footprint. #FindingBetterWays #Aluminium

If a picture is worth a thousand words, a new, interactive, 3D-printed mapping innovation is worth much more. 🗺️ Projection Augmented Landscape Models, or simply PALM, is exactly that. The models consist of high-resolution, 3D-printed base tiles, which piece together to form a model of a site's terrain. "Everyone can gather round the table and look at the model from all angles, touch the landscape, point to specific areas and chat about the things that interest them," Bernie, Winu's Manager for Communities and Social Performance, said. #FindingBetterWays
