EGA to expand recycling capacity sixfold in Germany

2025/12/22 12:10

Emirates Global Aluminium is to invest $170 million to increase its recycling capacity in Germany by more than sixfold.

The new facility of EGA Leichtmetall, near Hannover, will add 110,000 tonnes per year of scrap-sorting capacity and 153,000 tonnes per year of melting and casting capacity, UAE state-run Wam news agency reported.

The first hot metal is expected to be produced in 2028.

EGA Leichtmetall’s existing Hannover site has a melting and casting capacity of 30,000 tonnes per year.

The planned facility will combine a scrap-sorting system, furnace technologies and an integrated salt-recovery process in a single location.

EGA also operates EGA Spectro Alloys in Minnesota in the US, with similar sorting technologies. A second phase is underway that will increase the EGA Spectro Alloys plant’s capacity to 200,000 tonnes per year by 2027.

In the UAE, EGA’s construction of the country’s largest aluminium recycling plant is nearing completion, the statement said.

Europe is the third-largest recycled aluminium market globally, after the US and China. Recycled aluminium meets around 40 percent of Europe’s aluminium demand, with consumption of 5 million tonnes annually.

  • No investment, more efficiency, say GCC aluminium smelters
  • Abu Dhabi’s critical metals deal reshapes Gulf security strategy

London-based market intelligence company CRU expects demand to grow to 7.2 million tonnes per year by 2033.

EGA is a key supplier of primary aluminium to Europe, shipping more than 600,000 tonnes annually. The European automotive industry is the largest consumer of the company’s “Celestial” solar aluminium.

This month, Bloomberg reported that EGA is seeking an investment partner for its aluminium recycling plant in the US.

EGA is co-owned by Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala Investment Company and Investment Corporation of Dubai.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
