China Sets Renewable Energy Targets for Aluminium Production

China's state planner announced new targets for the use of renewable energy in aluminium production across key provinces on Friday. This move is part of China's broader strategy to reduce carbon emissions and enhance sustainable practices in its industrial sectors.

Shandong Province, the country's largest aluminium producer, has been tasked with achieving 21% of its energy consumption from renewable sources. Meanwhile, Inner Mongolia and Yunnan Province, also significant aluminium producers, have been set higher targets of 29% and 70%, respectively.
