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.
路透社巴塞罗那9月13日-中国宏桥集团（1378.HK）一位高管周三表示，该公司已经在中国云南省投产了150万吨电解产能，公司目标是到2025年底将400万吨电解铝产能转移，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.
该公司特别顾问罗恩*纳普（Ron Knapp）表示，到2023年底，转移铝产能产能到云南省，将使公司的碳排放量减少30%，这是中国宏桥将所有铝冶炼能源转型的的第一步。
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.
这家全球最大的民营铝生产商计划：到今年年底将把200万吨铝产能从山东省北部转移到云南，到2025年底400万吨产能将全部转移到云南。该公司2022年的铝产量为600万吨。
"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."
“这是我们摆脱煤炭能源的第一步，”纳普在巴塞罗那的一次关于铝的会议期间接受路透社采访时表示的。“我们承诺，到2025年公司将达到碳峰值。
Power is the largest component of carbon emissions,but aluminium operations also emit CO2 from carbon anodes,transport and raw materials alumina and bauxite.

电力是碳排放的最大组成部分，但是铝生产过程中也会通过碳阳极、运输以及原材料氧化铝和铝土矿释放二氧化碳。
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.
他补充说，该公司的新生产线--第六个电解铝系列就建在云南，目前几乎快完成了建设。云南省是一个水力发电丰富的地区，这些生产线是公司能源转型的一部分。
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.
纳普说，云南省水电供应总体来讲，已基本上恢复正常。今年的降雨量低于往年，该省的电力供应发生了中断。
"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...大家都在讲，在取消电力供给限制后，大约有200万吨（在云南）电解铝产能恢复，“他说。
That included both existing capacity restarts and output ramping up from new smelters that had been on hold,Knapp added.
纳普补充说，这包括现有的产能重启和被搁置的新冶炼厂的新增产能。
Hongqiao's other coal-fired smelters will not necessarily be moved to Yunnan,but to where renewable energy can be sourced,he said.
他说，宏桥在山东的其他使用煤电的电解铝厂不一定会搬到云南，而是转移到可以获取到可再生能源的地方。
