加拿大铝工业的百年简史——世界铝工业百年兴衰史系列(六)

Century history of Canada's aluminum industry--Century history of aluminum industry worldwide(VI)

加拿大是世界铝工业传统强国,长期位居世界前列,魁北克省丰富的水力资源,造就世界知名“铝谷”。早期加拿大铝工业被美铝垄断;20世纪下半叶开始加铝主导、其它大型跨国公司陆续进入,以政府网电与铝厂的双赢合作模式良性发展;进入21世纪产能增速放缓。加拿大铝工业国家比较优势明显,长寿铝厂多,其核心竞争力是水电、铝电联营、重视科技研发和技术提升等。总结及展望。

Canada is a traditional power in the world's aluminum industry,which ranks ahead globally over a long term.Quebec Province is rich in hydraulic resources,thus creating a world-famous"Aluminum Valley".Canada's aluminum industry was early monopolized by Alcoa;In the second half of the 20th century,Alcan began to take the lead,and other large multinational companies began to enter,the win-win cooperation model between the government grid power and aluminum smelters developed positively.In the 21st century,the production growth has slowed down.Canada's aluminum industry has obvious international comparative advantages with a great number of long-lived aluminum smelters.Its core competitiveness lies in hydropower,aluminum and power joint operation,as well as the focus upon scientific and technological R&D and technological upgrading.Summary and outlook.
