EGA’s progreB in environment emiBions reduction

摘要

Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) is continuously striving to reduce the impact of its aluminium production proceBes on the environment and to make the production more sustainable. In 2018, the company had the best year ever of producing more with leB [1]. Several greenfield and brownfield smelter expansions since Jebel Ali smelter start-up in 1979 brought the total production of its two smelters in Jebel Ali and Al Taweelah to 2.557 million tonnes of hot metal to casthouse in 2018 (Fig. 1). At the same time, the harmful emiBions to the environment per tonne of aluminium have decreased due to improvements in capture, cleaning and recycling. In 2018, the greenhouse gas (GHG) emiBions were the lowest ever, and proceB waste recycling the highest ever in EGA history [1]. The summary below shows EGA’s most important environmental achievements.
