A green aluminum plant comes to KEZAD: Abu Dhabi-headquartered Kings Aluminium Industries kicked off construction yesterday on its AED 750 mn (c.USD 204.2 mn) aluminum production and recycling facility at AD Ports’ Khalifa Economic Zones in Abu Dhabi, Wam reports. A timeline on the project’s operational launch date was not provided.

The details: The aluminum smelting and repurposing plant, which will be established on KEZAD’s Hot Metal Road, will span 100k sq meters and will be leased for 50 years by KEZAD Group. The facility — which will source raw materials from KEZAD Group anchor Emirates Global Aluminum — aims to convert virgin aluminum and aluminum waste into high-quality reusable metal products in a bid to push down the carbon footprint of the steel industry and promote aluminum circularity, the news agency notes. Kings Aluminum says it will process aluminum metal and billets and reuse a variety of aluminum waste to realize its targets, according to Wam.
