Ganja City has an alumina refinery and aluminium smelter – all in one site.

So there.

Makes a lot of sense as it will save on transportation of alumina to a semlter

Hi there,

aluminium gets smelted where there is cheap energy, as far as I know. I've been to Norway last year and seen some of these smelters too – they have cheap and abundant renewable energy sources there resulting from the big differences in height (fjords are up to 1000m higher thand sea level).

Greetings and merry christmas.

Daniel, that is indeed the case in NZ too. The Tiwai Point aluminium smelter right at the bottom of New Zealand gets its power from a hydro electric station that flows into one of the many fiords in Fiordland…
