  GALTCO AN INDUSTRIAL MILESTONE FOR COLOMBIA The GALTCO Project in Colombia marks a turning point in the country's industrial history. In a context where Colombia has traditionally depended on exports of oil, coal and agricultural products, economic diversification has become an imperative need. With an electrical system whose generation is based mostly on renewable energy , mainly hydroelectric, and expanding towards solar and wind energy, Colombia is well positioned to meet the growing global demand for low-carbon products. GALTCO, the first aluminium smelter in Colombia , not only represents a technological breakthrough, but also a significant push towards the country's reindustrialisation and economic diversification. This project has the full support of Colombian Government institutions and national companies, as well as international interest. The construction of GALTCO will be a milestone in Colombia's industrial history, contributing to the country's susta...
