The agreement will see EGA’s CelestiAL metal return to the UAE, as well as being distributed all over the world. EGA supplies thousands of tons of aluminum to the Austria-based HAI each year. A proportion of this supply will now switch to CelestiAL.

EGA aims to significantly expand CelestiAL production as part of an initiative with Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (TAQA), Dubal Holding and Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC) to divest its electricity generation assets and source power from the grid, including an increasing proportion of clean energy.
