Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Vietnam has approved Viet Phuong Investment Group Joint Stock Company (VPG) and Hoa Phat Group's plan to develop the Dak Glong alumina refinery and aluminum smelter project. This will be Vietnam's third bauxite-to-alumina industrial complex, and the developers also plan to use renewable energy as part of the project.

The $2.2 billion Dak Glong project will be in the Lam Dong province, on a 1,150-hectare site, and will include a 3.25 million-ton-per-year bauxite mine and ore-sorting facility, a 1 million-ton-per-year alumina refinery, and a 300,000-ton-per-year aluminum smelter.
