Mobarakeh Steel on the Path to “Green Steel”

Abdolrasoul Ahmadi, Managing Director of “Mobarakeh Steel Clean Energy & Power Industries Company (SANAP)”, stated: “Mobarakeh Steel Group, through the implementation of large-scale solar projects and planning for a wind power plant, aims to simultaneously produce steel and take decisive steps toward reducing emissions and advancing toward green steel.”

Speaking on the sidelines of the First Green Technologies and Clean Energy Exhibition, Ahmadi added: “Mobarakeh Steel, recognized as a leading player in sustainable energy and production, has participated in this exhibition to showcase its capabilities and initiatives in clean energy and green steel.”

He went on to say: “Mobarakeh Steel has defined green steel as a strategic priority and made extensive investments in renewable energy. Currently, Iran’s largest solar power plant, with a total capacity of 600 megawatts, is under construction by the Mobarakeh Steel Group. So far, 120 megawatts of this capacity have been commissioned and are already supplying a significant portion of the electricity required by Mobarakeh Steel’s manufacturing facility.”

Ahmadi emphasized: “Constraints on fossil fuel resources, particularly natural gas, have compelled Iranian industries to turn to renewable energy. For Iran, solar and wind represent the best available options. We plan to complete the second phase of our 120-megawatt solar plant by the end of this year and bring the entire 600-megawatt capacity online by the end of next year.”

He also announced plans to construct a 200-megawatt wind farm in Khaf, Razavi Khorasan Province, which will supply the required energy for Sangan Steel Company, a subsidiary of Mobarakeh Steel Group.

Explaining the company’s objectives for participating in the Green Technologies and Clean Energy Exhibition, Ahmadi noted: “This is the first time this exhibition is being held in Isfahan, and we are here to present our capabilities, environmental initiatives, and ongoing projects to visitors.”

He concluded: “Contrary to the widespread perception of steelmaking as a polluting industry, Mobarakeh Steel has successfully mitigated much of its environmental impact through solar power generation and is actively aligning its operations with the goals of sustainable development.”/mehr
