ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION MEASURES

The production of steel is grossly dependent on large amount of coal feedstock that releases clouds of carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere. Clean coal technology is an efficient technology which reduces the emissions of Sulfur Dioxide and Nitrogen Dioxide resulting in plant efficiency. During 2014, Mughal Steel met another milestone through the induction of clean coal technology. The Company is the pioneer in augmenting the utilization of coal gasification also known as the clean coal technology introduced in the industrial sector of Pakistan. The coal gasification not only yields efficiency in production and reduces the operating cost, but also accredits the company in fulfilling its strong commitment towards environmental sustainability. This has further strengthened the image of Mughal Steel as an environmental sensitive company that operates in compliance to the international health and environmental standards which has encouraged the company to invest in the clean coal technology.
