WEEKLY: Chinese alumina prices largely hold firm
Alumina
09 Jun 2026
Chinese alumina prices remained broadly stable during the May 29-June 4 week, as cautious purchasing by primary aluminium smelters stifled market activity.

SupplementAL
08 Jun 2026
The state-owned company said the technology marked the first time such a high blending ratio has been achieved globally, according to state media CCTV. Previous hydrogen-coal co-firing trials internationally had largely kept blending ratios below 10 per cent, as higher ratios are prone to combustion instability, deflagration risks and excessive generation of nitrogen oxides (NOx), according to experts cited in state media. This was previously auxiliary blending, but now hydrogen can be consi ...
