SMM 주조 알루미늄 합금 재고 전주 대비 500톤 감소, 2주 연속 재고 소진

Oklahoma Primary Aluminum has released an economic impact study for its proposed US$4 billion primary aluminium facility in Inola, Oklahoma. The project, a joint venture between Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) and Century Aluminum, is expected to have an annual production capacity of 750,000 tonnes of primary aluminium once fully operational. According to the study, the project is expected to support around 7,000 Oklahoma jobs on average annually, with employment peaking at more than 10,600 in 2029. It is projected to add an average of US$1.45 billion per year to the state’s GDP and generate approximately US$49 billion in cumulative economic impact through 2060. The facility will use EGA’s proprietary EX reduction cell technology, while the project is also expected to support an additional US$400–500 million in regional infrastructure investment.

노벨리스는 캐나다 온타리오주 킹스턴 공장의 생산을 축소하고 약 80명의 직원을 해고한다. 이는 해당 공장 인력의 약 3분의 1에 해당한다. 회사는 이번 조치의 원인으로 미국이 캐나다산 알루미늄 수입에 부과하는 무역확장법 232조 관세 비용을 꼽았다. 킹스턴 공장은 냉간 압연, 마감 및 소둔 설비를 운영하며 해양, 운송 및 산업용 알루미늄 제품을 생산한다.

Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) has launched an E40 technology upgrade pilot at its Al Taweelah smelter, upgrading 13 DX technology reduction cells to validate performance before potential industrialisation across all 808 DX cells in potlines 1 and 2. If fully deployed, E40 could increase hot metal production from the two potlines by 67,000 tonnes per year, while reducing net specific energy consumption and associated power-generation CO₂ emissions by approximately 6% per tonne of metal produced. EGA is accelerating the pilot during the ongoing restoration of the Al Taweelah smelter.
