Products and Services
Alcoa's core business encompasses the entire aluminum value chain. As one of the world's largest bauxite producers, it holds ownership in seven active mines globally, including Australia's Huntly mine. The company is also the world's largest third-party producer of alumina, with an installed refinery capacity of 17 million metric tons per year across six refineries in Australia, Brazil, and Spain. Alcoa's refining system is recognized for its low average carbon dioxide intensity. Its aluminum segment includes smelting, casting, and energy assets, with over 75 percent of its smelting portfolio powered by renewable energy. Key product innovations include EcoSource®, the world's first low-carbon alumina brand, and EcoLum®, a low-carbon primary aluminum with less than 4.0 CO2e emissions from bauxite to casting. Additionally, EcoDura® offers aluminum with a minimum of 50% recycled content, supporting the circular economy. The company also produces high-performance EZCastTM alloys for specialized applications.
Sustainability and Innovation
Alcoa is positioned as a pioneer in sustainable aluminum production. Its ELYSIS® joint venture is developing a game-changing technology that eliminates all greenhouse gas emissions from traditional aluminum smelting, generating pure oxygen as a byproduct. This innovation replaces carbon anodes with inert, proprietary materials. The company's commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices is evident through its inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices and global certifications from the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI). Alcoa aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 and implements a comprehensive Responsible Sourcing Program to ensure sustainability throughout its supply chain, utilizing platforms like EcoVadis and TRAC for due diligence. The Alcoa Foundation further supports community, economic, and landscape resilience in operating regions.
