Jindal Shadeed Iron & Steel Sohar plant (جندال شديد للحديد و الصلب) is a steel plant in Sohar, Al Batinah North, Oman that operates direct reduced iron (DRI) and electric arc furnace (EAF) technology.
Location
The map below shows the exact location of the plant in Sohar, Al Batinah North, Oman:
- Location: Jindal Shadeed Iron & Steel, Sohar Port, Plot − 12, PO Box 404, PC 322, Falaj Al Qabail, Sohar, Sultanate of Oman
- Coordinates (WGS 84): 24.502551, 56.600739 (exact)
Background
Jindal Shadeed Iron & Steel is a steel manufacturing company based in the Sohar Industrial Port area of the Sultanate of Oman. It is the largest privately-owned integrated steel producer in the Persian Gulf region. Jindal Shadeed has made commitments to foster socio-economic growth and support Oman's transition to a green, circular economy. It is currently investing in a pilot Carbon Capture plant with an expected completion date in late 2023. [1] German company Hydrogen Rise AG is partnering with the plant to run a trial production of green steel using hydrogen, (there is potential to use up to 30% green hydrogen) operating as early as 2024.[2] [3]
Low-emissions/green steelmaking
This steel plant is associated with a green steel project tracked in the Green Steel Tracker. Details about the project are included below.
