UAE industrial group Embosal has broken ground on a new hot-rolled coil line in Ras Al Khaimah, targeting commercial operations by the end of 2027. 

The plant's steelmaking process covers scrap melting through hot rolling, with a designed annual capacity of 1.2 million tons. Products will range from 3 to 25.4 mm thick and up to 1,250 mm wide, with grades from structural steel to pipeline steel. Output will mainly feed Embosal's own pipelines, creating an integrated value chain.

The project is expected to emit about 0.9 tons of CO2 per ton of steel and create around 700 jobs.
