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 more than 70% compared with conventional blast furnace steelmaking, 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 customers worldwide and for our own green steel plant in 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 iron and steel industry. We apply the same approach to every project we advance, and we take a project forward only when the emissions case and the commercial case hold together.
Community Protection
How do we manage our local emissions?
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.
Supply Chain
At Meranti Green Steel, our core values guide every decision we make, and sustainability is at the center. From raw material sourcing to delivery, we are rethinking how steel is made. That means lowering emissions, improving efficiency with smart technology, adopting greener transport solutions, and building a responsible supply chain.
Sustainable Procurement
We are committed to creating a supply chain that is responsible, resilient, and transparent—aligned with our sustainability vision and grounded in shared environmental values. Our approach supports continuous innovation in green technologies and helps contribute to Thailand’s carbon neutrality goals.
Green Logistics
We’re building a logistics system with carbon reduction in mind. Our plan starts with electric trucks for short distances and grows as battery technology and charging infrastructure improve. This step is part of our larger strategy to cut emissions across all our operations.
Our key focus areas:
Working with ESG-aligned suppliers to ensure responsible sourcing and ethical business practices
Prioritizing local and regional sourcing to strengthen resilience and support local economies
Tracking Scope 3 emissions across materials and logistics, with clear reporting and accountability
Building long-term partnerships with suppliers who share our environmental and social commitments
Aligning with national sustainability targets and global best practices in responsible sourcing
Regulations and Compliance
Meranti Green Steel is committed to meeting all regulatory requirements in every market where we operate, currently Oman and Thailand, and aligning with international best practices. From development to operations, we take a disciplined, transparent approach to compliance.
