RE:More Rio Tinto client evidenceIt's indeed clear that RioTinto is one of our Client. There's absolutely no doubt.
They are also part of the worldwide Net Zero Emission pact, to which G20 countries are part of. So they will receive gov. grants to help them acheive their goal. And PYR's technology will one of the technology they will use in different sectors.
RioTinto Climate report 2020.pdf 2020 Scope 1 & 2 emissions by operations
Iron Ore: 10%.
Emissions from our iron ore Pilbara operations are mostly related to the natural gas used to generate power for the mines and processing plants, and from the diesel consumed by our mining and rail fleet.
Copper & Diamonds: 9%.
Diesel for trucks and electricity are the main sources of emissions in our copper business. Our Kennecott copper mine in the US purchases renewable electricity certificates, and Escondida in Chile is starting to transition to renewable power in 2021. The Oyu Tolgoi mine in Mongolia is currently supplied by coal-fired power from China.
Energy & Minerals: 11%.
Our titanium dioxide business is energy intensive and sources hydropower in Canada but relies on coal-fired power at Richards Bay Minerals in South Africa. The titanium smelting process also consumes carbon electrodes
and heat for the furnace at Iron Ore Company of Canada (IOC) is produced from fossil fuels. Aluminium (Atlantic):17%.
Even when supplied with 100% renewable power, the aluminium smelting process produces emissions from the use and degradation of carbon anodes. Bauxite & Alumina: 20%.
The two main sources of emissions in the alumina refining process are from the coal and natural gas used for heat and calcination.
Aluminium (Pacific): 32%.
In addition to the process emissions from the degradation of carbon anodes, the Boyne and Tomago aluminium smelters in Australia are both supplied by
