Alcoa Shell boost Brazil Amazon aluminum project push
Multinational and local firms rush to the Brazilian Amazon aiming at self sufficiency in alumina and aluminum by the late 1980s. Alcoa do Brasil with Billiton and Shell do Brasil advances a 1.5 billion refinery smelter at Sao Luis, planning 500 000 tonnes of alumina and 100 000 tonnes of aluminum annually in early production. A 900 million dollar loan backs the effort, while a bauxite mine is planned in Trombetas. Government delays block some bauxite deals and a possible joint venture with Ludwig and Shell is discussed. CVRD and Nippon Amazon Aluminum also pursue a large export oriented smelter and alumina refinery jointly.
