R&D
Technology and research and development (R&D) are integral to our business, helping us run safer, more efficient operations and leave a lighter footprint. For the world to reach net zero, we must find better ways to provide the materials it needs. Some of the technology required to achieve net zero by 2050 does not yet exist. That’s why we’re nurturing an innovative culture — one where our people meet challenges with courage and creativity, supported by strong partnerships. We’ve built an industry-leading technology and R&D organisation, partnering with universities, governments, start-ups and industry leaders to test, develop and accelerate technologies aligned with our strategy.

Rio Tinto Iron Ore
We are one of the world’s leading producers of iron ore. Our iron ore operations in the Pilbara comprise a world-class, integrated network of 18 iron ore mines, 4 independent port terminals, a rail network spanning nearly 2,000 kilometres and related infrastructure. We produce these mainstream iron ore products in Western Australia, including Pilbara Blend, the world’s most recognised brand of iron ore.
Aluminium
Lightweight and infinitely recyclable, aluminium is found in everything from jet engines to electric vehicles and mobile phones. It is the most abundant metal in the Earth’s crust and one of the world’s fastest growing major metals. Analysts predict the use of aluminium in lightweight cars and trucks in North America will increase by 40%, from 180kg per vehicle in 2015 to 252kg by 2030.
Lithium
Lithium is an essential ingredient in lithium-ion batteries for powering electric vehicles, energy grids and data centres, laptops, power tools, phones and other devices we use every day.
Copper
Copper is essential to creating a sustainable, low-carbon world. Just one 1MW wind turbine, for example, uses 3 tonnes of copper.
