I missed this from 3  months ago ...

IT was interesting to not only see Trudeau and Coulliard along with alcoa and Rio tinto...but to see...Apple with an investment.

The reason I find it interesting is because the Trudeau -Apple door ..opened.

Based on findings from scientists at a metallurgy lab they found the following:

"aluminum and iron were the most abundant metals in the phone accounting for 38.5 percent of the iPhone mass.

Other metals, such as copper, cobalt, chromium, and nickel accounted for 17.1 percent of the mass. 

So , I guess you can see the ROF has some dependable Apple ingredients. Since Apple is promoting their green image with the investment on the Aluminum end, perhaps they'd be interested in what Ontario can do with smelting chromite with NG to reduce greenhouse emissions.

$558 million investment project will create and maintain thousands of jobs in Canada

Global aluminum industry leaders Alcoa Corporation and Rio Tinto Aluminum today announced a revolutionary process to make aluminum that produces oxygen and eliminates all greenhouse gas emissions from the traditional smelting process.

The announcement signals the most significant innovation in the aluminum industry in more than a century, and marks a decisive step forward in the fight against climate change.

To advance the larger scale development and commercialization of the new process, Alcoa and Rio Tinto have formed a joint venture, Elysis. The new joint venture will pursue a $558 million two-phased project.

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, announced an investment of $60 million in support of Elysis. The Premier of Quebec, Philippe Couillard, announced that the Government of Quebec will contribute a matching investment, and become a limited partner in the company.

Apple will also provide an investment of $13 million to the first phase of the project, and has agreed to provide technical support to Elysis.

This new company, which will be headquartered in Quebec, will directly employ 100 people, and has the potential to create more than 1,000 jobs by 2030, while securing 10,500 existing aluminum jobs in Canada.

Elysis will further develop the technology so it can be licensed for retrofit at existing smelters or used to design and build new facilities. Development to commercialize the process will take place in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec, where Elysis will establish a world-class facility.

Once fully developed and implemented, the ground-breaking technology will virtually eliminate the Canadian aluminum industry’s carbon footprint, and help strengthen the already well-integrated Canada-United States aluminum and manufacturing industry.

The technology has the potential to significantly reduce the country’s carbon footprint over the next decade, helping Canada reach its commitments under the Paris Agreement.
