Friday, Nordural, a wholly owned subsidiary of Century Aluminum Co. (CENX | charts | news | PowerRating), received a positive opinion from the Icelandic Planning Agency on the Environmental Impact Assessment for its proposed greenfield smelter to be installed near Helguvik, Iceland.
According to the company, the Planning Agency has determined that the construction of the aluminum smelter would not have a significantly negative impact on the environment or communities surrounding the proposed site.
