| Construction works at Qatalum plant site |
In Qatar, Hydro is present as part-owner in an aluminium production plant, which is currently under construction.
In July 2007, the 50/50 joint venture owners Hydro and Qatar Petroleum approved construction of a primary aluminium plant – Qatalum - in Mesaieed.
Qatalum, with annual capacity of 585,000 tonnes, will be the largest primary aluminium plant ever built in one phase. It will be a fully-integrated plant consisting of a smelter, casthouse and carbon plant as well as a dedicated gas-fired power plant.
Qatalum is expected to begin production in late 2009 and reach full capacity in 2010.
