RE:RE:RE:RE:RioTinto/IOC’s new torch orders is imminent Raphaelle2 ... It shows you don't understand what you're posting about. And it's interesting that PYR recently debunked your arguments on natural gas (which still emits CO2).
Are you telling us that Rio Tinto ordered plasma torches because they had nothing else to do?
Electricity is on site at IOC. Don't worry.

Indeed SFirst I am getting nervous. But frankly, not for myself! ( Only a naive junior will waste his time shorting depressed cats and dogs ).
I am think about confused other SH, trying to understand RioT recent statements about their 2023 technology options:
"Additionally, the direct reduction of high-grade iron ore pellets (such as those produced by IOC) is already an available technology todayusing natural gas as a reductant to produce a low-carbon iron product that can be directly processed in an electric arc furnace. Switching from natural gas to green hydrogen would make this a net zero process route. Rio Tinto states that in 2023 it will further evaluate opportunities in North America and the Middle East to produce hot briquetted iron (HBI) with hydro-based green hydrogen and high-grade iron ore from IOC."
Hummm...RioT seems to agreed with Vale and Arcelor similat pellets technology processing route?
What about IOC ?
Being familiar with the subject, I wrongly tought that you could shed some light on their plan!
Good Independance Day to all our American colleagues!
