Key Ideas
  • Masdar and EMSTEEL successfully produce green steel using green hydrogen, showcasing UAE's ambition to lead in hydrogen and green steel production.
  • Green hydrogen has the potential to reduce CO2 emissions in steel making by up to 95%, a significant step towards decarbonizing the hard-to-abate steel industry.
  • The pilot project aligns with the UAE's Net Zero by 2050 strategic initiative, emphasizing the importance of decarbonization in achieving global climate goals.
  • The partnership between Masdar and EMSTEEL highlights the collaboration between clean energy and heavy industry sectors to accelerate the energy transition and promote sustainability.
Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company PJSC, known as Masdar, and EMSTEEL, the UAE's largest publicly listed steel and building materials company, have successfully completed a groundbreaking pilot project in Abu Dhabi. This project marks the first-of-its-kind in the Middle East and North Africa, demonstrating the use of green hydrogen to produce green steel. The renewable hydrogen produced has been certified and the pilot project is fully operational, producing green steel at scale. The collaboration highlights the potential for green hydrogen to significantly reduce CO2 emissions in steel production, a crucial step towards decarbonizing the hard-to-abate steel industry. This initiative aligns with the UAE's commitment to becoming a major hub for green steel production and complements the country's efforts towards achieving a Net Zero target by 2050. The partnership between Masdar and EMSTEEL exemplifies the importance of cross-sector collaboration in advancing sustainability and driving the global energy transition. The pilot project's success not only showcases innovative solutions for decarbonization but also sets a precedent for other industries to adopt cleaner production methods for a more sustainable future.
