Masdar, EMSTEEL complete MENA’s first green hydrogen steel pilot project

By

Masdar and UAE steelmaker EMSTEEL have announced the successful completion of a pilot project using green hydrogen to produce low-carbon steel at EMSTEEL’s Abu Dhabi facility. The project employs green hydrogen to reduce iron ore in the steelmaking process, a method that can lower carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions by up to 95%. Now fully operational, the renewable hydrogen produced has been certified by Advance Labs per ISO 19870 standards for hydrogen, established during COP28. Additionally,…
