Land pact signed for Abu Dhabi smelter
01 December 2006
Emirates Aluminium (Emal), a joint venture between Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala Development Company and Dubai Aluminium Company Dubal, has signed a land allocation agreement with Abu Dhabi Ports Company for its smelter project in the UAE capital.
The first phase of the $5 billion Emal project will be operational in 2010 with around 700,000 tonnes annual capacity. Upon completion of all phases, the smelter will have a capacity of 1.4 million tonnes, which will make it the largest single-site aluminium smelter in the world.
The project will be owned equally by Dubal and Mubadala. Emal will be using the latest DX technology for aluminium production, which has been developed in-house by Dubal over many years of refinement in their own environment. “This is an excellent example of industrial cooperation between Dubal and Mubadala to create a world-class player in the aluminium industry which the UAE can be proud of,” says Dubal CEO Jasim bin Kalban.
