Rio Tinto and Prysmian trial low-carbon aluminium cables for data centres using breakthrough ELYSIS technology

Rio Tinto and Prysmian have partnered on an industrial trial to produce low-carbon aluminium cables for the data centre market. The trial used aluminium from Rio Tinto's hydropowered Alma smelter in Quebec and material produced using ELYSIS technology, which eliminates direct greenhouse gas emissions from smelting and produces oxygen instead. The partnership builds on a five-year supply agreement signed in 2023, combining both companies' technologies to develop lower-carbon aluminium solutions for energy transmission and data centres. According to CRU, data centres represented approximately 7% of North American cable demand in 2025, with projected compound annual growth of around 17% between 2026 and 2030. The collaboration aims to support the data centre industry's expansion whilst helping customers meet sustainability objectives as aluminium gains market share in data centre infrastructure.
