Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA)'s new refinery at Al Taweelah produced one million tonnes of alumina since it began operations in April and is expected to reach full capacity during the first half of 2020, the company said on Monday.
The refinery converts bauxite ore into alumina, the feedstock for aluminium smelters. Once full production is achieved, the plant would meet 40 per cent of EGA's alumina needs, according to the company.
