I did some research.
They were shutting down because of lack of gas. They secured some, so they will not shut down, only operate at 60% capacity.
If they shut down they represent less than 1% of world production.
They released a statement clarifying that they’re running the Qatalum smelter at reduced capacity, not shutting it down.
