Qinghai Huanghe aluminium plant — China
Aluminium Smelter in China. Approximate location 34.60318, 98.26832.
Aluminium SmelterChinaCO₂ not individually reported
Qinghai Huanghe aluminium plant is an aluminium smelter in China. Aluminium smelters use large electric currents to refine alumina into molten aluminium above 900°C, and the hot metal must flow through crucibles and casting equipment. It is operated by Qinghai Huanghe Hydro Power Recycling Aluminium Co. No facility-measured CO₂ figure is available in the open dataset used here.

In context: how this facility compares
Subsector: aluminum. As aluminium smelter, it requires high process heat (typically 600–900°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Aluminium smelters use large electric currents to refine alumina into molten aluminium above 900°C, and the hot metal must flow through crucibles and casting equipment.

Carbon emissions
No facility-measured CO₂ is published for Qinghai Huanghe aluminium plant; Climate TRACE provides only a aluminium smelter sector-level estimate, so a precise per-site figure, ranking or carbon cost would be misleading and is not shown. No domestic carbon price — but cement, steel, aluminium, fertilizer and hydrogen exported to the EU face CBAM at €75/t (rising to 100% by 2034).
