Tharisa is committed to reducing carbon emissions by 30% by 2030 and the sustainability roadmap targets net carbon neutrality by 2050. Through Redox One, Tharisa is advancing proprietary iron-chromium redox flow battery technology, utilising the very commodities it mines to support long-duration energy storage - a key component in the transition to renewable energy.
