Abstract

The article focuses on Glencore Plc's decision to suspend plans for upgrading its copper smelter in northern Quebec due to unsuccessful negotiations with the provincial government regarding arsenic emissions. The company announced that investments in the Horne Smelter will be halted, as they could not agree on a timeline and targets for reducing pollution. By March 2027, the smelter may face shutdown if it cannot comply with its permit, and Glencore has expressed that meeting the proposed emissions target of 3 nanograms per cubic meter is unfeasible. The facility, located in Rouyn-Noranda, is crucial for supplying Glencore's copper refinery in Montreal. [Extracted from the article]
