Global Hydrogen Review,
EMSTEEL, one of the largest publicly traded steel and building materials manufacturers in the region, has delivered hydrogen-based rebar for the construction of Abu Dhabi’s first net zero carbon mosque in Sustainable City, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. This marks a regional first, as Aldar becomes the inaugural developer in the MENA region to use low-emissions hydrogen-based steel.
The rebar, produced using hydrogen from EMSTEEL’s green hydrogen pilot project developed in partnership with Masdar in 2024, plays a critical role in enabling the mosque to achieve LEED Zero Carbon certification – a milestone in sustainable architecture for the capital.
Saeed Ghumran Al Remeithi, Group Chief Executive Officer of EMSTEEL, said: “This landmark delivery reinforces EMSTEEL’s commitment to driving industrial sustainability and accelerating the UAE’s transition to a low-carbon economy. In collaboration with Aldar, EMSTEEL is setting a precedent for the adoption of green steel across future residential, commercial, and public infrastructure projects. The partnership signals a shift in the construction industry, emphasising the role of innovative, locally manufactured materials in achieving national climate goals and redefining the future of urban development.”
