Modon, a master developer known for vibrant and sustainable communities, and EMSTEEL Group, the UAE’s largest steel and building materials manufacturer, have signed an MoU reflecting a strategic alliance to confirm Modon as the first real estate developer to use low-carbon steel in the UAE.

This collaboration underscores EMSTEEL and Modon’s vital role in driving the construction industry’s transition toward sustainability and decarbonization. Aligned with the UAE’s Net-Zero2050 Strategy, the partnership aims to facilitate decarbonization across the construction value chain in the UAE and the wider region by introducing green steel produced with certified renewable hydrogen. This green steel, sourced from the EMSTEEL Group and Masdar’s pioneering green hydrogen pilot project—the first of its kind in the MENA region—sets a new benchmark for sustainable and responsible construction practices.
