📋 New comment: The path toward low- and near zero-emissions steel requires not only new #steelmaking technologies but above all robust, long-term demand signals to secure investments and scale up of new iron and steel plants. Yet these urgently needed market signals are still lacking, causing some near zero-emission steel projects to stall. 1/x

⚙️ NEW ANALYSIS: #China’s dual role in the emerging global market for green iron
#China produces over half of the world’s #steel, and the sector accounts for 17% of national CO₂ emissions.The steel industry remains a cornerstone of China’s industrial development, technological leadership and manufacturing competitiveness. As climate neutrality targets grow nearer, accelerating investment in low-carbon #steelmaking is now both a climate imperative and a strategic opportunity. 1/x

"A series of e-mails between the head of the #AlbertaEnergyRegulator, a #coal-mining company and the Energy Minister’s office about a mine application has raised questions about the independence of the province’s energy watchdog.
"At the heart of the e-mails is an application for an underground mine for #steelmaking coal near Grande Cache, about 430 kilometres west of Edmonton. The project is Mine 14 by Summit Coal Inc., a subsidiary of Valory Resources Inc.."

"The method involves injecting finely ground iron ore powder into an extremely hot furnace, triggering an “explosive chemical reaction”.
The result is a stream of high-purity iron that can be directly used for casting or “one-step #steelmaking”.Known as #FlashIronmaking, the method “can complete the ironmaking process in just three to six seconds, compared to the five to six hours required by traditional blast furnaces”."

2. Resilience and #Competitiveness: Industrialised economies importing cheaper DRI can enhance their competitiveness in low-carbon #steelmaking, while also safeguarding the vast majority of local jobs.
3. #Partnerships are Essential: Strategic international #collaborations between renewable-rich Global South regions and industrial demand centres in the Global North can foster win-win scenarios for both, ensuring equitable industrial transformation and shared prosperity. 3/x

"Recently announced #steelmaking projects are overwhelmingly electric arc furnaces, which now amount to 49 percent of all planned capacity. By the end of this decade, electric arc furnaces will account for more than a third of steelmaking."

> the #Biden Administration announced up to US$1 billion in commercial #hydrogen “#greenSteel” projects. Two significant grants of US$500 million each were awarded to Cleveland-Cliffs in #Ohio and SSAB Steel in #Mississippi. This move represents a crucial step towards advancing #lowEmission #ironmaking facilities in the #UnitedStates, leveraging #clean #hydrogen to replace traditional #coal or #naturalGas in the #steelmaking process.

You want to explore more potential breakthrough technologies for green #steelmaking? Find all technology fact sheets in our recent publication: https://www.agora-industry.org/publications/low-carbon-technologies-for-the-global-steel-transformation
Next week we will take a closer look at technologies based on carbon, capture and storage (CCS) for primary steelmaking. Stay tuned!

Both #technologies, MOE and AEL-EAF, can eliminate almost all emissions (-100%; -99.6% vs the current BF-BOF route) at comparatively lower costs (production cost increase ranging from +23-71% per ton of steel compared to the current conventional #steelmaking route) by using clean #electricity. 3/x

There is a major opportunity in the UK for a #steelmaking #greentransition.
As blast furnaces become cleaner so the use of scrap metal for making new steel can expand (and has done elsewhere!)
Currently the UK is a laggard in recycling it's scrap, so its both an opportunity for metal #recycling but also yet one more indication that in the details the UK could be doing so much more to (easily) promote green solutions.
(Though, as chart shows our scrap is imported for recycling elsewhere!)

The impulse’s 2 scenarios demonstrate that a phase-out of coal in #steelmaking by the early 2040s is technically feasible. This could help reduce the #steel industry's direct CO2 emissions of the steel industry & eliminate its large footprint from coal mine methane leakage. 4/6
