More announcement of green steel making process in Spain by Arcelor Mittal. I hope Pyro will be some business in Spain.
"The construction of a green hydrogen direct reduced iron (DRI) plant at its plant in Gijn, as well as a new hybrid electric arc furnace (EAF)." By 2025, the Sestao plant – which manufactures a range of flat steel products for the automotive and construction sectors, and general industry - will produce 1.6 million tonnes of zero carbon-emissions steel by:
-
Changing the metallic input by increasing the proportion of circular, recycled scrap, and using green hydrogen-produced DRI from Gijn in its two existing EAFs.
-
Powering all steelmaking assets (EAFs, rolling mill, finishing lines) with renewable electricity.
-
Introducing several key emerging technologies that will replace the small, remaining use of fossil fuel in the steelmaking process with carbon-neutral energy inputs, such as sustainable biomass or green hydrogen.
