The conference brings together international aluminium smelter, power and technology experts to explore key developments in the aluminium smelting sector, focusing specifically on the critical issue of energy supplies. The event also explores alumina supply, technology developments and investment criteria for smelters, as well as other relevant issues involving the supply of power.
The Middle East has become a major force in the aluminium smelting sector, converting low-cost and reliable supplies of gas into aluminium metal. The region has benefited from a number of expansion projects of existing smelters in recent years and is also about to see several greenfield projects developed, including in Oman. This conference will give attendees the opportunity to assess the latest aluminium projects in the Middle East, as well as reviewing international developments, the impact of global environmental legislation on heavy industrial energy users, power production technology and ways of structuring/financing aluminium and power projects. The event is also designed to enable attendees time to meet other delegates in relaxed business surroundings.
