Industry Partner
Arabian Gulf Steel Industries (AGSI), headquartered in Abu Dhabi, is the UAE’s largest private-sector steel manufacturer and largest steel recycler, producing steel from 100% locally sourced recycled raw materials. As the world’s first verified carbon-neutral steel manufacturer and the first Net Zero Steel manufacturing facility in the MENA region, AGSI is a pioneer in advancing more responsible industrial production through fully electrified steelmaking, clean energy integration, and circular manufacturing practices.
At the core of AGSI’s model is the reuse and recycling of locally sourced steel to produce new steel for construction and infrastructure projects across the UAE. By transforming recovered steel into new high-performance materials, AGSI supports a more circular approach to steel production while significantly reducing carbon emissions compared to conventional methods. This model extends the productive lifecycle of steel and reduces reliance on virgin iron ore, helping retain valuable materials within productive use.
For the built environment sector, reducing embodied carbon has become an important consideration in how buildings and infrastructure are designed and delivered. AGSI’s Net Zero Steel products play a critical role not only in the decarbonisation of the steel industry, but also in supporting lower embodied carbon across buildings and infrastructure projects. The integration of 100% recycled Net Zero Steel contributes to lower embodied carbon while continuing to meet the durability, safety, and performance standards required for modern construction.
AGSI’s environmental performance is independently verified by leading third-party certification and assurance bodies, reflecting the company’s commitment to measurable progress, transparency, and responsible manufacturing. Through continued investment in operational efficiency, cleaner industrial practices and industry collaboration, AGSI contributes to broader efforts to decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors.
Net Zero Steel production remains central to AGSI’s role in advancing national objectives under the UAE Net Zero 2050 strategy and the country’s broader transition toward a more circular industrial economy, while supporting global climate goals. Through responsible manufacturing, local value creation, and strategic partnerships across the construction ecosystem, AGSI continues to enable sustainable industrial growth in the region while contributing to a broader shift toward more lower-carbon industrial practices.
