Norsk Hydro says Alunorte production embargo lifted

Norwegian aluminium-maker Norsk Hydro said on Tuesday that Brazil's northern state of Para has lifted a production embargo on its Alunorte alumina refinery, but noted that full production will not resume until a federal court follows suit.

The plant is operating at half capacity after admitting early last year to making unlicensed emissions of untreated water during severe rains.
