About this project
The description is as the source gives it.
Australian company South32 successfully tested the use of 30% biomass (waste from pine logging) in its multi-fuel cogeneration facility (MFC) at the Worsley alumina refinery in 2018. This generated heat for alumina digestion, though further progress seems to have been limited. In 2023, South32 kept using biomass as a partial energy source, which led to abating about 31ktCO2 that year.
Statuses, countries and reductions are as the public source states them, and may be out of date.
