AI Summary

Rio Tinto and thermal‑energy‑storage specialist Rondo Energy have begun front‑end engineering and design for a 30 MW/360 MWh heat‑battery project at the Yarwun alumina refinery near Gladstone. The battery would be integrated into the plant’s existing steam system, providing large‑scale thermal storage for industrial process heat. If completed, it would become one of the first major demonstrations of thermal energy storage for industrial heat worldwide and the first such system in the alumina sector.
