Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Speira Kelemania i ka lā 7 Kepakemapa e ʻoki ʻo ia i ka hana alumini ma kāna hale kanu Rheinwerk e 50 pakeneka mai ʻOkakopa ma muli o nā kumukūʻai uila kiʻekiʻe.

Ua manaʻo ʻia ua ʻoki ʻia nā smelters ʻEulopa i ka 800,000 a 900,000 tonnes / makahiki o ka puka alumini mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kumukūʻai ikehu i ka makahiki i hala. Hiki ke ʻoki ʻia kahi 750,000 tonnes o ka hana ʻana i ka hoʻoilo e hiki mai ana, ʻo ia ka manaʻo o kahi ākea nui i ka lako alumini ʻEulopa a me nā kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe.

ʻO ka ʻoihana hoʻoheheʻe alumini he ʻoihana ikaika. Ua piʻi hou aʻe nā kumukūʻai uila ma ʻEulopa ma hope o ka ʻoki ʻana o Rūsia i nā lako kinoea i ʻEulopa, ʻo ia hoʻi he nui nā mea hoʻoheheʻe ʻia e hana ana ma nā kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe ma mua o nā kumukūʻai mākeke.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Speira i ka Pōʻakolu e hōʻemi ia i ka hana alumini mua i 70,000 tonnes i ka makahiki i ka wā e hiki mai ana i ka piʻi ʻana o nā kumukūʻai ikehu ma Kelemania e kū nei i nā pilikia e like me nā mea hoʻohenehene alumini ʻEulopa.

Ua piʻi nā kumukūʻai ikehu i nā pae kiʻekiʻe loa i nā mahina i hala iho nei a ʻaʻole manaʻo ʻia e hāʻule koke.

E hoʻomaka ana nā ʻoki hana Speira i ka hoʻomaka o ʻOkakopa a manaʻo ʻia e hoʻopau ʻia i Nowemapa.

Ua manaʻo ʻo Eurometaux, ka hui ʻoihana metala ʻEulopa, ʻo ka hana alumini Kina he 2.8 manawa ʻoi aku ka nui o ke kalapona ma mua o ka alumini ʻEulopa. Ua manaʻo ʻo Eurometaux i ka hoʻololi ʻana o ka alumini i lawe ʻia ma ʻEulopa i hoʻohui i 6-12 miliona tonnes carbon dioxide i kēia makahiki.
