Mauritania's Green Iron Revolution: Leading the World in Sustainable Steel Production
Key Ideas
  • SNIM and AMAN Green Energy to collaborate on a green DRI facility in Mauritania, aiming to produce millions of tonnes of green iron for export to Europe by 2030.
  • The project will utilize CWP's 30GW 'AMAN' project, with plans to convert Mauritanian raw iron ore into green hot briquetted iron, significantly reducing carbon emissions compared to traditional blast furnaces.
  • The AMAN Green Hydrogen Hub, expected to deploy 18GW of wind power and 12GW of solar power, will produce up to 1.7 million tonnes of green hydrogen per year and aims to make Mauritania a key global player in green steel production.
  • Mauritania is becoming a hub for renewable energy and hydrogen production, with other projects like GreenGo Energy's green energy park further boosting the country's potential in green hydrogen production.
Société Nationale Industrielle et Miniére (SNIM) and AMAN Green Energy have entered into a collaboration to establish a new facility in Mauritania for the production of green direct reduced iron (DRI). Under an MOU, the partners aim to produce green iron for export to the European steel industry by 2030, utilizing CWP Global's 'AMAN' project. This initiative will involve converting Mauritanian raw iron ore into green hot briquetted iron, replacing high-carbon emissions processes currently used in blast furnaces. The project, part of the AMAN Green Hydrogen Hub, is set to deploy significant wind and solar power capacities to produce green hydrogen and position Mauritania as a top global producer of green steel. With plans to produce up to 1.7 million tonnes of green hydrogen annually, Mauritania's focus on sustainable steel production is a significant step towards reducing CO2 emissions in the steel industry. The country's investment in green energy projects, like GreenGo Energy's green energy park, indicates a growing trend towards renewable energy and hydrogen production in the region.
