Emsteel Group has announced the delivery of its first shipment of rebar produced using green hydrogen to Aldar Properties, to be used in the construction of the first net-zero emissions mosque in Abu Dhabi, as part of the Sustainable City project on Yas Island.
This milestone represents a pioneering achievement in the region, as Aldar becomes the first real estate developer in the Middle East and North Africa to adopt such sustainable solutions in its construction operations.
The green rebar is produced under Emsteel’s pilot green hydrogen project, launched last year in collaboration with Masdar, helping the mosque qualify for carbon-neutral certification under the global LEED rating system. This achievement marks a significant step forward for sustainable buildings in Abu Dhabi.
Engineer Saeed Ghumran Al Remeithi, CEO of Emsteel Group, emphasized that this milestone underscores the Group’s firm commitment to advancing industrial sustainability and contributing to the UAE’s transition toward a low-carbon economy. He noted that the partnership with Aldar represents a crucial step in promoting the adoption of green steel across future residential, commercial, and public infrastructure projects.
He added that this collaboration reflects a transformative shift in the construction sector, highlighting the importance of utilizing innovative, locally produced materials to achieve national climate goals and to shape a new vision for sustainable urban development.
