According to a recent report, Emirates Global Aluminium has signed an official contract with General Electric Co. (GE) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at its plants in the United Arab Emirates.

The companies will reportedly chalk out a plan to cut emissions from GE’s natural gas turbines by exploring hydrogen as a fuel, as well as carbon capture, utilization, and storage solutions.
Emirates Global Aluminium, also known as EGA, operates 33 natural gas turbines of General Electric at Jebel Ali and Al Taweelah. The turbines together have a power generation capacity of 5,200 megawatts, which account for a significant proportion of GE’s total greenhouse gas emissions.
Emirates Global Aluminium is equally owned by two sovereign wealth funds - Investment Corp. of Dubai and Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala Investment Co. The United Arab Emirates last month became the first of the Gulf’s petro-states to commit to eliminating planet-warming emissions within its borders.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, prime minister of the UAE and ruler of Dubai, announced in October that the nation would invest almost $165 billion in clean energy by 2050.
