China has built more capacity than they have electricity to support or alumina to feed operations. This has driven up the price of alumina because they're a big importer of alumina. Over the next two to three years, some of that capacity will be activated, but probably not all of it. In the mid- to longer term, China will be in balance.

The company says that when production begins in 2007, the plant will be one of the most efficient, safe and environmentally friendly in the world. Aluminum is smelted from an oxide called alumina, which is refined from bauxite ore - and Fjardaál will be capable of churning out 322,000 metric tons of aluminum each year. Alcoa says it will recycle materials and use the most eco-friendly production technology to control fumes and minimize waste discharge into the sea and groundwater...
