Emsteel and Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar) have collaborated to establish a pilot green hydrogen plant at Emsteel's manufacturing complex in Mussafah, Abu Dhabi. The plant's electrolyser capacity and equipment supplier have not been disclosed yet, with the facility utilizing solar power from the grid to produce hydrogen on site. This initiative sets the stage for Emsteel to transition from using natural gas to renewable hydrogen for steel production, aiming to decarbonize the steel industry in the UAE and the wider MENA region. During the plant's launch event, Emsteel Group CEO, Saeed Ghumran Al-Remeithi, emphasized the importance of the partnership with Masdar in accelerating the adoption of green steel production. The project is seen as a significant step towards positioning the UAE as a global leader in green hydrogen and Emsteel as a hub for green steel. Emsteel plans to expand the pilot green hydrogen facility to cater to the growing demand for green steel locally and internationally, aligning with the UAE's Net Zero by 2050 strategic initiative. The company's focus on low-carbon products and clean energy aligns with its commitment to reducing carbon emissions, with 80% of its operations powered by clean energy. Following the merger of Emirates Steel and Arkan Building Materials, Emsteel has become the UAE's largest steel and construction materials company, valued at $3.53 billion. With a strong presence in the UAE's industrial strategy, Operation 300bn, Emsteel holds a significant market share in the steel industry, contributing 11% to Abu Dhabi's manufacturing output. The company's operations span across 16 plants with a substantial annual production capacity of steel and cement, exporting its products to over 70 markets, showcasing its global footprint and commitment to sustainability.
