Alpha HPA inks MoU with CleanCo Queensland for renewable energy supply

The producer of sustainable ultra-high purity aluminium products Alpha HPA has inked a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with CleanCo Queensland to supply up to 100% of the power for its HPA First Project in Gladstone.

The project is earmarking the production of around 10,000 tonnes per annum equivalent of HPA and allied products using Alpha's solvent extraction and HPA-refining technology.

As per the MoU, Alpha, and CleanCo, the state-owned low-emission power generator is set to negotiate a renewable energy supply agreement (REA) for the operation.

Rob Williamson, COO, Alpha HPA commented on the prospective REA: "Alpha is committed to delivering a project that delivers products and materials that are vital for decarbonization and to do so with the lowest possible environmental impact.”

Dr. Maria, CEO, Schweizer CleanCo, said: “The company looks forward to fuelling Alpha's clean energy ambitions.”

"CleanCo is committed to leveraging our unique portfolio of energy generating assets to provide reliable, competitive low-emissions energy to our commercial and industrial customers," Dr. Schweizer added.

Alpha HPA concluded by saying: “A successful REA would further reduce HPA First Projects' already low carbon footprint.”
