Our world class Yarwun alumina refinery is situated ten kilometres north-west of Gladstone in central Queensland. Construction began in 2002 and the first shipment of alumina was made in late 2004. Learn more with Rio Tinto.

Jul 18, 2024 · Rio Tinto are preparing to trial the use of hydrogen in one of their calciners at their Yarwun refinery in Gladstone. The trial is expected to produce the equivalent of about 6,000 tonnes of alumina per year while reducing Yarwun’s carbon dioxide emissions by about 3,000 tonnes per year 3 .

The Yarwun Hydrogen Calcination Pilot will demonstrate the viability of using hydrogen in the calcination process, where hydrated alumina is heated to temperatures of up to 1,000 degrees Celsius.
