Australia’s large and vertically integrated aluminium industry presents exciting opportunities to help both Australia and our global trading partners navigate the energy transition. But to underpin the investment to remain competitive and grow, the industry needs rapid access to competitive energy and designated critical mineral status to access global capital and overcome excessive red tape. This will ensure the sector can continue to make its significant A$18 billion economic contribution while securing thousands of valuable jobs in regional centres across the country.
New research by the Australian Aluminium Council highlights the industry’s significant contribution to the Australian economy prosperity and the advantages of its integrated mine-to-market structure. However, the report also identifies serious vulnerabilities requiring an urgent response from government.
