Modon, a prominent master developer, entered into a partnership with EMSTEEL Group, the UAE’s leading steel and building materials manufacturer, for the deployment of low-carbon steel in their projects.
EMSTEEL’s low-carbon steel is produced through Masdar’s pioneering green hydrogen pilot project.
The collaboration makes Modon the first real estate developer in the UAE to integrate low-carbon steel into its projects, the company said.
This initiative also reflects the two companies’ commitment to advancing sustainability and decarbonisation within the construction industry.
Ibrahim Al Maghribi, CEO of Modon, said the strategic alliance not only underscores the company’s commitment to sustainability, but also positions Modon as a leader in the adoption of low-carbon building materials.
Saeed Alghafri, CEO of Emirates Steel, part of EMSTEEL Group, said: “With the recent launch of our green hydrogen pilot project with Masdar, we are elevating our utilisation of clean energy and laying the foundation for future implementation of clean hydrogen for green steel production at scale, contributing directly to the UAE’s net-zero strategy and national hydrogen economy targets.”
This partnership builds on Emirates Steel’s track record as a pioneer in green innovation.
