Alumina refinery and aluminium smelter incentive price update - 2019
This report is currently unavailable
Report summary
Wood Mackenzie routinely reassesses the long run alumina and aluminium incentive prices, which are the minimum prices needed to make investment in new refinery or smelter capacity economically viable. The assessment takes into account projects’ location, capital and operating costs. We model a number of generic refineries and smelters using a mix of greenfield and brownfield projects. For this analysis, we estimate the cash flow of the various modelled projects and discount them using risk-adjusted rates varying from 12% to 15%.
