BARCELONA,Sept 13(Reuters)-China Hongqiao Group(1378.HK)has fired up 1.5 million metric tons of aluminium smelting capacity in the country's southwest where it aims to move 4 million tons by end-2025 to take advantage of low-carbon energy,an executive said on Wednesday.

路透社巴塞羅那9月13日-中國宏橋集團（1378.HK）一位高管周三表示，該公司已經在中國云南省投產了150萬噸電解產能，公司目標是到2025年底將400萬噸電解鋁產能轉移，使用低碳能源。

This will slash carbon emissions of the capacity being moved to Yunnan province by 30%by end-2023,the first step in eventually shifting all of Hongqiao's smelting away from coal-fired energy,Ron Knapp,special adviser to the company said.

該公司特別顧問羅恩·納普（Ron Knapp）表示，到2023年底，轉移鋁產能產能到云南省，將使公司的碳排放量減少30%，這是中國宏橋將所有鋁冶煉能源轉型的的第一步。

The world's top private aluminium producer plans to move 2 million metric tons of capacity to Yunnan from northern Shandong province by the end of the year and 4 million tons by the end of 2025.The firm produced 6 million tons in 2022.

這家全球最大的民營鋁生產商計劃：到今年年底將把200萬噸鋁產能從山東省北部轉移到云南，到2025年底400萬噸產能將全部轉移到云南。該公司2022年的鋁產量為600萬噸。

"That's the first step to get us out of coal,"Knapp told Reuters in an interview on the sidelines of Fastmarkets aluminium conference in Barcelona."We are committed to hit peak carbon by 2025."

“這是我們擺脫煤炭能源的第一步，”納普在巴塞羅那的一次關于鋁的會議期間接受路透社采訪時表示的?！拔覀兂兄Z，到2025年公司將達到碳峰值。

Power is the largest component of carbon emissions,but aluminium operations also emit CO2 from carbon anodes,transport and raw materials alumina and bauxite.

電力是碳排放的最大組成部分，但是鋁生產過程中也會通過碳陽極、運輸以及原材料氧化鋁和鋁土礦釋放二氧化碳。

The sixth potline of the company's new operations in Yunnan,a region with abundant hydro power,is almost finished as part of the shift,he added.

他補充說，該公司的新生產線--第六個電解鋁系列就建在云南，目前幾乎快完成了建設。云南省是一個水力發(fā)電豐富的地區(qū)，這些生產線是公司能源轉型的一部分。

The wider situation in Yunnan is back to normal in terms of hydro power availability after recent disruptions to power supply in the province due to lower-than-usual rainfall this year,Knapp said.

納普說，云南省水電供應總體來講，已基本上恢復正常。今年的降雨量低于往年，該省的電力供應發(fā)生了中斷。

"There's plenty of water at the moment...people are saying about 2 million tons have come online(in Yunnan)after the restrictions were lifted,"he said.

“目前云南水力充沛...大家都在講，在取消電力供給限制后，大約有200萬噸（在云南）電解鋁產能恢復，“他說。

That included both existing capacity restarts and output ramping up from new smelters that had been on hold,Knapp added.

納普補充說，這包括現(xiàn)有的產能重啟和被擱置的新冶煉廠的新增產能。

Hongqiao's other coal-fired smelters will not necessarily be moved to Yunnan,but to where renewable energy can be sourced,he said.

他說，宏橋在山東的其他使用煤電的電解鋁廠不一定會搬到云南，而是轉移到可以獲取到可再生能源的地方。
