Emirates Global Aluminium to spend $5bn boosting capacity | The National:



"State-owned Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) is spending US$5.2 billion to boost capacity at its smelter in Dubai and build an alumina refinery in Abu Dhabi, a company executive said yesterday.



EGA, the world’s fifth-largest aluminium producer, was formed last year with the merger of Abu Dhabi’s Emirates Aluminium (Emal) and Dubai Aluminium (Dubal).



EGA is adding about 40,000 tonnes per annum to the 1 million tonnes per annum smelter at Dubal due for start-up in 2017 and it is building a 2.2 million tonnes per annum alumina refinery in Al Taweelah in Abu Dhabi set for start-up in the first quarter of 2018, said Mohammad Abdulrahman, EGA’s vice president, Emal Phase II and major projects."
