Yunnan-based electrolytic aluminum smelter using the province's abundant hydropower for lower-carbon primary aluminum production.
Yunnan-based electrolytic aluminum smelter using the province's abundant hydropower for lower-carbon primary aluminum production.
Sells aluminium at prices that follow the Shanghai Futures Exchange benchmark, with extra for alloys and processed forms, so profit rests on the gap between that price and its power and alumina costs. Yunnan's cheap hydropower is the edge. The provincial government controls it through a state metallurgical group.
In one line: A hydropower-fed Chinese aluminum smelter.
Moat: narrow (cost advantage). Cheap, low-carbon hydropower gives a cost and ESG edge over coal-powered smelters.
