Yunnan Aluminum aims at alumina self-sufficiency by 2020

China's Yunnan Aluminum Co. is all set to further strengthen its upstream business verticals. According to the industry sources, the company has set an ambitious target for itself- to become 100 per cent self-sufficient in alumina by 2020.

At present, Yunnan Aluminum’s alumina capacity is 1 million tonnes per year, at 40 per cent self-sufficiency rate. With commissioning of its Phase II 600,000-tpy alumina project in Yunnan’s Wenshan and 1 million-tpy alumina project in Laos, its alumina self-sufficiency rate will reach 65 per cent by 2017, and  by 2020 it will further rise to 100 per cent. Then its alumina capacity will hit 2.6 million tonnes per annum.

Yunnan Aluminum with an  annual aluminium capacity of 1.2 million tonnes operates in other segments of alumina value chain. Its main business includes bauxite mining, alumina refining, aluminium smelting, and aluminium processing.
