EGA’s Jebel Ali smelter hot metal production has increased above 1 million tons per annum since 2010 and produced a record 1,045,255 tons in 2015 and with forecast total production of 1,065,280 tons for 2016. Jebel Ali Potrooms has also strived to minimize its environmental impact with significant effort to reduce the three main sources of GHG emissions; power consumption, anode carbon and CO2e emissions from AE PFC’s (anode effect perflurocarbons). Specific energy has decreased from 14.82 DC kWh/kg to 14.29 DC kWh/kg, net carbon has reduced from 0.434 t/t Al to 0.423 t/t Al and AE PFC emissions have reduced from 0.263 CO2e/t Al to 0.071 t CO2e/t Al. This has resulted in reducing annual GHG emissions by 798,065 CO2e tons and was achieved despite increasing annual hot metal production by 63,266 tons since 2010. This achievement demonstrates EGA’s vision for operational excellence and continuing efforts to minimise its environmental footprint. |
