Masdar and EMSTEEL in the UAE have completed a groundbreaking pilot project demonstrating the use of green hydrogen to produce green steel, a first in the Middle East and North Africa. The project, now fully operational in Abu Dhabi, extracts iron from iron ore using green hydrogen, a crucial step in steelmaking. The renewable hydrogen produced has been certified by international standards, highlighting its significance. The partnership between Masdar and EMSTEEL not only showcases innovative decarbonisation of the steel industry but also emphasizes collaboration between clean energy and heavy industry sectors in the UAE. The project aligns with the UAE's initiatives for economic growth and sustainability, particularly the Low Carbon Hydrogen Policy and the National Hydrogen Strategy. Masdar, a key player in sustainability and climate action, aims to increase its renewable energy capacity to 100 GW by 2030, with a focus on green hydrogen. EMSTEEL, committed to decarbonisation efforts, has achieved a high percentage of clean energy sources and operates with significantly lower carbon intensity compared to the global average. Both companies are driving global sustainability efforts and promoting a low-carbon supply chain. The success of this pilot project signifies a strategic step towards a sustainable future and contributes to the UAE's goal of becoming a leading global producer of low-carbon hydrogen by 2031. By leveraging green hydrogen for steel production, Masdar and EMSTEEL are pioneering the transformation of the steel industry towards a greener and more sustainable future.
