After the Start of Spring, in the Luotuoquanzi Industrial Park of Xinxing Development Zone in Xinjiang, red factory buildings stand on the Gobi Desert like desert camels. In the dawn, 360 600KA electrolytic cells were successfully powered up and began operating, with molten aluminum surging like lava. This hot land is rapidly emerging as the largest green aluminum production base in Northwest China, injecting low-carbon vitality into the transformation of energy-intensive industries.

The project has a total investment of 5.143 billion yuan and is expected to construct an annual production line of 580,000 mt of aluminum, along with a full set of supporting facilities.
