Shanxi Huasheng Aluminum Industry plans to transfer 190000 tons of Electrolytic Aluminum production capacity

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) marks a big shift in worldwide climate rules. It’s set to tackle carbon leakage and push for greener ways. CBAM works as a carbon border tax—slapping fees on imports based on their hidden carbon emissions. This setup makes sure foreign goods face the same carbon costs as stuff made inside the European Union (EU). It keeps firms from dodging tough eco-laws by moving shops elsewhere. Plus, it nudges folks toward cleaner production tricks.

In the last decade, the demand of the photovoltaic industry has seen unprecedented gains driven by various global initiatives toward sustainability, decarbonization, and efficiency in energy use. Among renewable energy sources, solar energy has emerged as one of the fastest-growing sectors owing to its cost-effectiveness and non-polluting character. As governments and private enterprises race to scale up solar energy production, demand for critical raw materials such as copper, aluminum, and nickel—key components in photovoltaic systems—has increased significantly.
