2 At the Center of Utah Industry At Rio Tinto's Kennecott, we produce elements that are essential for modern life. While doing this, we emit 5.8 percent of the Salt Lake area's annual ne particulates. In the winter, we reduce our emissions to 3.8 percent by shutting down our power plant. We are also working hard to reduce emissions by implementing actions within our operation and within our community.
