THINK ALUMINIUM THINK AL CIRCLE
Xinfa Group, one of China’s top smelters, has been included on a list of exemptions for the winter heating season published by the Liaocheng Economic and Information Technology Committee and reviewed by Reuters. Subsidiaries of Xinfa, which has around 1.4 million tonnes of smelting capacity in Liaocheng, will not have to reduce production this winter.
But an alumina refinery owned by Xinfa that can produce 4.4 million tonnes per year would have to cut production by 10 percent from Dec. 1 to Jan. 31, Reuters reported.
The measures are much more lenient than during the 2017/18 winter, when China ordered smelters in 28 northern cities to cut production by 30 percent from mid-November to mid-March in order to reduce air pollution. Northern China’s heating season runs from Nov. 15 to March 15.
The alumina restriction will “not hurt” Xinfa, according to a company source. Xinfa did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
