Abstract

The paper, "Green Steel Blueprint: Mauritania's Strategic Pathway to Sustainable Industrial Leadership," positions Mauritania at the forefront of a potential economic and industrial revolution through the development of a green steel industry. Despite its current status as an exporter of iron ore without domestic steel production, Mauritania is uniquely poised to leverage its abundant natural resources, including vast iron ore reserves and significant renewable energy potential, to pioneer sustainable steel production. Highlighting the economic context and recent discoveries of gas reserves alongside renewable energy initiatives, the paper advocates for the adoption of green hydrogen technology in steel manufacturing to reduce carbon emissions and align with global sustainability goals. It underscores the economic viability, environmental benefits, and strategic importance of transitioning to green steel production. Addressing challenges such as technological and financial hurdles, the paper recommends strategic actions including international collaborations and policy support to realize this vision. It suggests that Mauritania can not only diversify its economy and enhance its global standing but also contribute to the fight against climate change by embracing green steel production.
