Back to EpisodesQuebec Extends Horne Smelter Emissions Authorization
Description
Quebec government extends Horne Smelters emissions authorization until 2033, balancing job protection and pollution reduction. Glencore-owned plant faces strict rules on metals but gets more time to meet reduction targets. Critics warn of downplaying health risks and prioritizing industry over resident safety. The deal maintains social acceptability amid ongoing improvements, with the smelter producing over 210,000 tonnes of copper and metals yearly.
