We remain firmly committed to delivering reliable, lower-carbon energy that powers national industries, drives value creation, and helps secure the UAE’s long‑term prosperity.”

With ADNOC Gas as a key energy partner, EMSTEEL will continue advancing green steel production, enhancing efficiency across our value chain, and contributing to the sustainable growth of the nation’s industrial ecosystem.”

The Board’s presence at Habshan reflects strong confidence in the company’s direction, its people, and its growing contribution to the national economy.
