Comparative Analysis of the Competitiveness of the Steel Industry Before an‎d After Green Technology (Case Study: Esfahan Mobarakeh Steel Company)

اقتصاد

The steel industry, as one of the most important global industries, has faced challenges in recent years such as increased competition, climate change, an‎d the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In this regard, the Iranian steel industry is also forced to pay attention to global developments an‎d use new an‎d clean technologies in the production process. The main issue of this research is to investigate the effect of establishing green steel on the competitiveness of the Iranian steel industry, with an emphasis on Mobarakeh Steel Company in Isfahan. This study was conducted by comparing competitiveness indices an‎d domestic resource costs before an‎d after the implementation of these technologies. Data analysis was conducted using Mobarakeh Steel Company information, the comparative advantage index, an‎d the DRC method. Accordingly, this research was conducted based on answering two basic questions. What effect does the establishment of green steel technology have on the competitiveness an‎d efficiency of Mobarakeh Steel Company? Can green steel technology increase the comparative advantage of the Iranian steel industry compared to global competitors? The domestic resource cost index method was used to answer the research questions. The results of the research show that the implementation of green steel technology creates a significant comparative advantage for Mobarakeh Steel Company according to the three scenarios of the first expert, the second expert, an‎d the questionnaire analysis, with coefficients of 0.001030, 0.000957, an‎d 0.000369, respectively. Based on the obtained coefficients, the production overhead cost (Q1) with a coefficient of 0.66 has the largest share in the structure of the cost of green steel production an‎d is considered the dominant factor in determining the final value of DRC. After that, the variable of the companyʹs capital value (Q5) with a coefficient of 0.59 an‎d the variable of the effective exchange rate (Q8) with a coefficient of 0.56 are in the next ranks of influence. These three variables have collectively assigned the largest weight in calculating the DRC index of the third scenario. These coefficients indicate a decrease in domestic resource costs an‎d an increase in competitiveness in global markets.
