Our Impacts

Environmental

Committed to a gradual but firm transition to green hydrogen in our DRI steelmaking process, we aims for near-zero CO₂ emissions. Initially, by using up to 25% green hydrogen and renewables, CO₂ emissions are cut by over 70% (to under 600 kg/ton ) compared to traditional methods. The goal is a full transition to green hydrogen, which will reduce CO₂ output by over 90% (to below 150 kg/ton ) and, at full scale, save more than 5 million tons of CO₂ emissions annually.

Commercial

By supplying local green steel, we will meet Thailand’s domestic demand, reducing import reliance and boosting self-sufficiency, while also opening export channels, particularly to Europe under CBAM regulations. With a focus on commercial sustainability, we aim to be a frontrunner in the green steel sector by achieving production costs in the lowest quartile globally. This approach not only strengthens our competitive position but also supports local industry through downstream partnerships, creating opportunities across the entire industrial ecosystem in Thailand.

Community

This project will generate over 1,000 direct skilled jobs and 5,000+ indirect opportunities, creating a sixfold economic multiplier effect. Additionally, it invests in the next generation by supporting vocational scholarships and research in energy efficiency and clean technologies, aiming to shape a responsible future by backing the people who will lead it.

Reducing Carbon Footprint Through Renewable Innovation

At Meranti Green Steel, we are committed to dramatically lowering the environmental impact of steel production. Our process reduces carbon emissions by up to 70% compared to traditional methods, with a clear pathway to achieving a 90% reduction over time.​

In Oman, abundant solar and wind energy will be used to produce green hydrogen for the direct reduction of iron (DRI), converting iron ore into Hot Briquetted Iron (HBI) for shipment to Thailand. In addition, the region will utilize natural gas and blue hydrogen—hydrogen derived from natural gas with integrated carbon capture and storage (CCS)—to further support sustainable steel production.​

In Thailand, our operations will rely primarily on renewable energy sources such as solar and wind to power our Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) technology. These locally available resources not only support carbon reduction but also contribute to national energy security by reducing reliance on imported fuels.​

By integrating renewable energy and advanced technologies across our operations, we are helping to build a cleaner, more responsible steel industry.

How do we manage our local emissions?

Air Emissions Management

At Meranti Green Steel, we are redefining emissions control in steelmaking. Our hot rolled coil facility integrates a world-class Fume Treatment Plant (FTP) equipped with advanced digital systems for real-time monitoring and process optimization. This ensures highly efficient capture and treatment of both particulate matter and gaseous pollutants. As a first for the region, we are deploying DeNOx technologies—using both selective catalytic and non-catalytic reduction methods—to dramatically reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions, a significant contributor to air pollution and acid rain. Combined with smart digital controls, our systems consistently keep emissions well below regulatory thresholds. These interventions form a key part of our commitment to cleaner air and a decarbonized future for Southeast Asia’s steel industry.

Water Stewardship

Our approach to water management is rooted in circularity and conservation. Meranti Green Steel’s plant incorporates advanced water treatment units that ensure all process water is treated to exceed quality standards before being reused. This closed-loop system not only minimizes freshwater withdrawal but also safeguards local water bodies and ecosystems. By embedding water quality and reuse into our design from the outset, we are preserving valuable natural resources and ensuring resilience against future climate and regulatory challenges. It’s how we protect both our operations and the communities that surround them.

Noise Pollution Reduction

Steelmaking doesn’t have to mean disruption. At Meranti Green Steel, we prioritize the well-being of both our workforce and neighboring communities by addressing acoustic impact head-on. We implement real-time noise monitoring across our plant, use low-noise equipment, and enclose high-decibel machinery within advanced acoustic housings. These solutions ensure our operations remain within globally recognized noise limits, creating a safer and more livable environment for all. It's another example of how we engineer sustainability not just into what we make but into how we operate.
