Frequently asked questions

How many records are in this directory?
The directory contains 308 records across 47 countries. Record counts are not a verified count of individual aluminium smelters.
Can these capacities be compared?
Not as a like-for-like ranking. The source unit combines alumina and aluminium. Product, facility boundary and reporting period need checking before comparison.
Why are alumina refineries included?
The Atlas groups these source records in one aluminium category. Alcoa identifies Pinjarra and Wagerup as alumina refineries.
