Karamay to build 250ktpy integrated prebaked anode project for aluminum smelting

Karamay has unveiled plans to construct a 250,000tpy integrated prebaked anode production facility serving the aluminum smelting industry. The project will occupy 165 mu (approximately 11 hectares) of land within the advanced petrochemical new materials cluster of the High-tech Industrial Development Zone.
The project will leverage the refining capacity of Karamay Petrochemical Company, securing a stable feedstock supply that effectively controls raw material costs and buffers against price volatility. Karamay Petrochemical currently produces approximately 300,000tpy of raw petroleum coke. Industry standards indicate that producing one tonne of prebaked anode requires 1.1 tonnes of raw petroleum coke. With an output of 250,000tpy of prebaked anode, the project will consume 275,000tpy of raw petroleum coke--absorbing the vast majority of Karamay Petrochemical's petroleum coke output and eliminating the need for cross-regional raw material procurement.
The project represents a total investment of RMB800 million (USD117.92 million). Upon reaching full capacity, it is expected to generate annual revenue of RMB 1.475 billion (USD217.42 million), net profit of approximately RMB 94 million, and annual tax contributions of around RMB62 million (USD9.14 million).
