Demand for low-carbon steel in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is rising as regulators tighten building standards and developers focus more closely on embodied carbon in projects, according to Arabian Gulf Steel Industries (AGSI). The company’s chief executive, Asam Hussain, said interest in fully traceable, low-emission steel has stepped up notably over the past year, supported by stronger real estate and infrastructure activity.
AGSI has positioned itself at the centre of this shift through its Net-Zero Steel platform, which recently won the “Sustainable Product of the Year – Construction Material” award at the MENA Green Building Awards. The company produces steel via a fully electric route using 100 per cent locally recycled scrap, achieving a verified emissions intensity of about 0.14 tCO₂e per tonne of crude steel – roughly 95 per cent lower than conventional blast furnace routes – and certification as carbon neutral under PAS 2060.
Despite expanded capacity, AGSI estimates it can currently meet only around 15 per cent of the UAE’s long-product demand with certified Net-Zero Steel, underscoring both the scale of the market and the growing appetite for verified green materials. Monthly rebar demand has climbed from about 350,000 tonnes in January to 500,000 tonnes in November, reinforcing the need for more low-carbon supply options.
