Why does Alcoa want to build a smelter in Greenland?
We share the government’s vision for the proposed establishment of a modern aluminium smelter to become the foundation for an integrated aluminium industry in Greenland. This is an industry that will bring well-paid, long-term, stable and skilled employment to the local community. Greenland’s competitive energy costs, the country’s strategic positioning between major markets in Europe and North America, and the availability of hydroelectric energy as a clean source of energy all make Greenland an ideal location for the establishment of such an industry.
