In a bid to clean up the way aluminum is produced, Apple is investing heavily into a company that has created the world’s first zero-carbon aluminum smelting technology. Aluminum has been produced through the same energy-intensive, greenhouse gas-releasing way for the past 130 years, but that could soon change as investments from Apple, as well as the governments of Quebec and Canada, are helping commercialize the zero-carbon technology.
