Gulf countries are determinedly shifting to green aluminium production since past few years amidst the upcoming enactment of 2026's Carbon Tax scheme. As of 2020, Aluminium Stewardship Initiative(ASI) reported that the GCC country smelters are close to ASI’s benchmark carbon emission target of 8 tonnes of CO2e emission per tonne of aluminium production.
"Middle Eastern producers are in a favourable position in the European market when considering both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, meaning they are more competitive in terms of overall emissions compared to other global competitors," she added.
