It just can not compete with the new smelters e.g. Bahrain 1.54 million tonnes p.a. Saudi 0.7 million p.a. Qatar 0.6 million p.a. UAE 1.8 million p.a.
About 65 million tonnes of primary aluminium is produced world wide p.a. with China producing almost half via power from mainly coal fired power plants - smelting is an energy intensive process.
