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.

Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council

Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council

The post Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Michael Saylor and a group of crypto executives met in Washington, D.C. yesterday to push for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill (the BITCOIN Act), which would see the U.S. acquire up to 1M $BTC over five years. With Bitcoin being positioned yet again as a cornerstone of national monetary policy, many investors are turning their eyes to projects that lean into this narrative – altcoins, meme coins, and presales that could ride on the same wave. Read on for three of the best crypto projects that seem especially well‐suited to benefit from this macro shift:  Bitcoin Hyper, Best Wallet Token, and Remittix. These projects stand out for having a strong use case and high adoption potential, especially given the push for a U.S. Bitcoin reserve.   Why the Bitcoin Reserve Bill Matters for Crypto Markets The strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill could mark a turning point for the U.S. approach to digital assets. The proposal would see America build a long-term Bitcoin reserve by acquiring up to one million $BTC over five years. To make this happen, lawmakers are exploring creative funding methods such as revaluing old gold certificates. The plan also leans on confiscated Bitcoin already held by the government, worth an estimated $15–20B. This isn’t just a headline for policy wonks. It signals that Bitcoin is moving from the margins into the core of financial strategy. Industry figures like Michael Saylor, Senator Cynthia Lummis, and Marathon Digital’s Fred Thiel are all backing the bill. They see Bitcoin not just as an investment, but as a hedge against systemic risks. For the wider crypto market, this opens the door for projects tied to Bitcoin and the infrastructure that supports it. 1.

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
