Norsk Hydro’s Alunorte alumina refinery cut output to 50% due to disruptions in natural gas supply from CELBA in Brazil.
Contingency steps include buying gas on the spot market, seeking direct access to the Barcarena LNG import and regas terminal.
Ramp-up to full production is expected once gas supply normalizes.
Potential Q3 2026 impact for Bauxite & Alumina estimated at USD 75-100 million from lower output, higher gas costs.
