Aluminumsmelter in Greeenland



I am serving on the board of Greenland Development and this February we visited the american company Alcoa in Knoxville Tennessee. Alcoa is a truly global company with facilities all over the world and they have fallen in love with Greenland because of the hydro potentials we have.

Hydro power stations has been utilising the power of the Tennessee Valley River for almost a century and it was quite interesting to visit the facilities. As long as you hae rainfall, hydropower really is clean and renewable energy.

Tennessee is a beautiful place with kind people. Though they had an accent I was not used to.... (Much harder than Texas).



Alfred Jacobsen from the Home Rule Government is also a part of the board of Greenland Development and checked all the technical equipment and as you can see everything ws OK!



If you want to know more about the project in Greenland look at this page: www.aluminium.gl

The projct is going to be discussed in parliament this spring and the decision will have a great impact on the development of Greenland.
