UAE’s Arabian Gulf Steel Industries (AGSI) signed strategic agreements with R.Evolution and 9E Global Engineering Consultants aimed at supporting low-carbon steel solutions and sustainable construction practices across the built environment.
Under the agreements, AGSI will collaborate on integrating low-carbon steel products, embodied carbon reduction strategies, and sustainable material selection into project planning and development stages.
The partnership with R.Evolution will initially support the EYWA WAY of Water project in Dubai, with both companies also exploring research and development opportunities related to sustainable construction techniques and lower-carbon building solutions.
As part of the cooperation, AGSI will also support circular material recovery initiatives through the collection and recycling of steel scrap generated from project activities for reintegration into steel production.
Separately, AGSI signed an MoU with 9E Global Engineering Consultants focused on technical collaboration, sustainable design integration, and lower-carbon construction strategies. The cooperation also includes technical workshops and knowledge-sharing initiatives related to sustainable material use in the construction sector.
AGSI stated that the agreements align with the UAE Net Zero 2050 initiative and reflect increasing focus on embodied carbon reduction and sustainable construction practices in the UAE.
AGSI is a privately owned steel producer and the largest scrap recycler in the UAE, with current annual production capacity of 720,000 tons of billet, 1 mln tons of rebar, and 240,000 tons of light and medium sections. The company recently launched its new HRM 3 rolling mill with annual capacity of 600,000 tons of net-zero steel rebar, while modernization of the existing HRM 1 line will increase its capacity from 400,000 tons to 800,000 tons. Following completion of these projects, AGSI’s total rolling capacity is expected to reach around 1.64 mln tons per year.
