Masdar and EMSTEEL have successfully concluded the first green hydrogen-based steel production pilot project in Abu Dhabi, marking a significant step towards sustainable steelmaking. The project, now fully operational, utilizes green hydrogen to extract iron from iron ore, a critical process in steel production. The green hydrogen produced has been certified and validated by reputable organizations, emphasizing the UAE's commitment to green steel production. EMSTEEL, a major steelmaker in the UAE, reported a significant proportion of clean energy sources in 2023 and aims to further decarbonize the sector through collaboration with Masdar. This initiative aligns with Abu Dhabi's Low Carbon Hydrogen Policy and the UAE National Hydrogen Strategy, positioning the country as a key player in low-carbon hydrogen production. Masdar's ambitious targets to expand renewable energy capacity and green hydrogen production signify a strong commitment towards sustainable energy practices.
