Abu Dhabi-listed developer Aldar is set to make history as the first in the Middle East and North Africa to incorporate hydrogen-based steel rebar in a construction project. Partnering with the UAE's EMSTEEL Group, Aldar aims to reduce carbon emissions significantly during the building of Abu Dhabi's initial net zero carbon mosque on Sustainable City Yas Island. The innovative move comes as part of Aldar's pledge to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. The mosque, with a 1,595 sqm floor area catering to over 850 worshippers, is targeting LEED zero carbon certification, showcasing a commitment to sustainability. Steel is a major contributor to embodied carbon in construction, and the adoption of hydrogen steel is expected to slash emissions by up to 95% compared to traditional steel production methods. This initiative aligns with the global trend towards sustainable development and green technologies. Additionally, green steel could come at a premium of $150 per metric tonne, indicating a potential shift towards more environmentally friendly construction practices. The project signifies a significant step towards a greener future in the construction sector and highlights the importance of implementing sustainable solutions to combat climate change.
