Alcoa, yanga ichiisa mari zhinji muR & D kubvira 2009 kugadzira aluminium isina kushandisa kabhoni, chiitiko icho makore gumi gare gare chakakwanisa kuona mwenje. Elysis, inoronga kuvhura fekitori muCanada kuti iite izvi muSaguenay, Quebec, fekitori iyo pakutanga isingazovhure masuo ayo kusvika chikamu chechipiri che2020.
