Modon, a property company based in Abu Dhabi, has signed a tentative agreement with Emsteel Group, a fellow Emirati company, to purchase 'green' steel produced using green hydrogen. This initiative is part of a pilot project in the UAE aimed at manufacturing sustainable steel with lower environmental impacts. The steel production process involves utilizing solar energy to power net-zero hydrogen electrolysers, which are used to extract iron from iron ore without the use of natural gas. By incorporating green steel into their projects, Modon aims to reduce its carbon footprint and support the UAE's green targets as part of the construction industry's efforts to address its significant carbon dioxide emissions. The partnership between Emsteel and Masdar signifies a commitment to industry decarbonization, with Emirates Steel being the first in the world to capture its CO2 emissions and demonstrate green hydrogen for steel production in the MENA region. However, challenges such as higher production costs and uncertainties surrounding the availability of green hydrogen pose obstacles to mainstream adoption of green steel. Despite these challenges, the collaboration between Modon and Emsteel highlights a positive shift towards sustainable practices in the UAE's construction sector, emphasizing the importance of environmental responsibility and innovation.
