This market resolves YES if Norsk Hydro's primary aluminum production for calendar year 2028 (January 1 – December 31, 2028) exceeds 2.0 million tonnes.
Settlement is May 31, 2029 — the close pushes ~5 months past year-end so the producer's full-year financial report and December 2028 monthly print are well-published before resolution.
Context. Norsk Hydro. ~2 Mt/yr capacity, mostly hydropower-fed; 2024 near capacity. The 2.0 Mt strike for 2028 reflects continued run-rate without new investment. Material deviation requires either Slovalco restart or capacity additions.
