Our Purpose

At Alkawther Steel, our goal is to help build a better world with responsible steels. Steels made using innovative processes which are more efficient, use less energy, and emit significantly less carbon. Steels that are cleaner, stronger and reusable. Steels for electric vehicles and renewable energy infrastructure that will support societies as they transform through this century. Steels in keeping with Qatar’s vision for the transformation of infrastructure and public buildings so as to develop the nation into one of the most advanced countries in the world.

About 40 percent of all steel produced is created through recycling. Steel is the most recycled material in the world and can be recycled forever. 60 percent of steel is recycled but because more steel is produced than scrapped, recycled steel makes up about 40 percent of the total amount of steel produced. A total of 1085 million tons of steel is recycled a year.

Steel recycling drastically reduces the social and environmental impacts of steelmaking. It saves an enormous amount of energy and water, and the mining of iron ore is not necessary.

Steel recycling avoids almost 950 million tons of CO2 emissions, 1 billion tons of iron ore, and the energy equivalent to burning about 280 million tons of coal (compared to producing the steel from mining of metal ore). We aim to produce steel with a highest recycling rate with the lowest possible CO2 footprint.
