Mar 2026 · Controlled shutdown, then stabilization at 60% capacity amid gas-supply disruption
Qatalum initiated a controlled shutdown of aluminium production in March 2026 after QatarEnergy warned of a forthcoming gas-supply suspension linked to Strait of Hormuz shipping disruptions during the US-Israel-Iran conflict; QatarEnergy has since confirmed continued gas supply at a level enabling Qatalum to maintain production at around 60% of its 648,000-tonne nameplate capacity.
