In July 2018, China’s State Council unveiled a ‘blue sky defence’ action plan to reduce air pollution by 2020. The initiative follows the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan of 2013 and last year’s ‘2+26’ policy. The target area for air pollution control and prevention now includes the '2+26' cities, 11 cities in the Fenwei plain and provinces in the Yangtze River Delta. With the range and intensity of environmental scrutiny increasing, the aluminium industry is under growing pressure. In this insight, we identify the new plan’s key action points for the aluminium industry and analyse the potential implications for refineries and smelters.</div>
