Abstract Scope |
In line with the UAE’s 2050 net zero greenhouse gas emissions strategic initiative, EGA is committed to decarbonizing aluminium production. Aluminium recycling is essential for unlocking the metal's potential to support decarbonization while increasing production. More decarbonized aluminium consumption will contribute to global living standards improvements. In November 2023, the construction of a170 thousand tonnes per year recycling facility next to EGA’s existing smelter in Al Taweelah was started The facility will process post-consumer aluminium scrap as well as pre-consumer aluminium scrap from extrusion production, into low-carbon, high quality aluminium product. This represents a significant growth opportunity for the industry and EGA. EGA pioneered the commercial production of aluminium using solar power, branded as CelestiAL, in 2021. The construction of a major aluminium recycling plant will provide low-carbon product options for local and global customers. |
