Insight
Aluminium incentive price: A higher price required for a cleaner supply
Report summary
There is a new environment that dominates investment decisions. Future aluminium supply cannot longer rely on fossils fuel for its energy. The current production process may also need to change for one that is carbon neutral. All these considerations make investing in aluminium assets risky as rapidly changing emission regulations can create large carbon liabilities to investors. In this Insight, we calculate the price that investors need (Incentive Price) to invest in aluminium projects.
