Lindab and Tata Steel Nederland announce to have entered a memorandum of understanding to supply Zeremis® green steel once the IJmuiden steelworks transitions to hydrogen-based steel production.
The SHS – Stahl-Holding-Saar Group (SHS Group) with its shareholdings Dillinger, Saarstahl and ROGESA has awarded the decisive contracts for the direct reduction plant (DRI) and the two electric arc furnaces (EAF).
SSAB, a global specialised steel company, has awarded AFRY the main engineering partner contract for their fossil-free steel mini-mill project in Luleå, Sweden.
CO2-neutrality has recently been achieved in the production of steel roof and facade panels at the Geldermalsen location (‘SAB-profiel’). This is the sixth climate neutral European location of Tata Steel Nederland.
The project has just submitted its application to the Strategic Projects for Economic Recovery and Transformation (PERTE) of Decarbonization (Line 4), highlighting a pioneering approach.
Nippon Steel obtained three “SuMPO EPD” certifications for its hot extruded steel shape products.
Both companies will collaborate closely to advance towards a more efficient and environmentally friendly value chain, reaffirming commitment to sustainability in the steel industry.
SSAB and Alstom entered a partnership for the supply of low-emission steel. The first delivery of SSAB Zero™ will take place already this year and be used in Alstom’s first Traxx Shunter™ locomotives.
With the narrowing window to limit global temperature rises to 1.5°C in line with the Paris Agreement, we must do all we can to achieve a net zero steel industry by 2050. We will only achieve this with steel users like our members signalling demand for and procuring net zero steel. But steel users need to know what they are buying to make effective procurement decisions, drive the transition, and measure real progress in tackling their scope 3 emissions.
That is why unlocking transparent, reliable, and comparable emissions data for steel has become a critical area of action for our SteelZero initiative. With this in place, businesses can understand and take steps to reduce the environmental impacts of the steel they use. But we need steelmakers to work with us to achieve compatible data sharing systems which will drive common understanding and expectations for data transparency along supply chains. This way, we can drive the industry’s net zero transition together.
The steel industry is at a pivotal crossroads in the quest for a sustainable future. As a key material in modern society, steel is crucial for infrastructure, transportation, and daily life, but traditional production methods significantly contribute to global CO2 emissions.
In this enlightening conversation, we delve into the strategies and innovations at Tata Steel Nederland with Mr. Sander Heinhuis, Director Marketing. Mr. Heinhuis provides a comprehensive overview of their pioneering approaches in sustainable steelmaking, the implementation of advanced data-driven processes, and the collaborative efforts necessary to achieve significant reductions in carbon emissions. Through initiatives like Zeremis and the development of cutting-edge technologies, Tata Steel Nederland is not only committed to decarbonizing its own operations but also aiding its customers and partners in reducing their carbon footprints.
In an exclusive interview with Green Steel World’s Lucija Kozina, Mr. Fabio Passaro, Senior Transition Policy Analyst at the Climate Bonds Initiative, discussed the findings of a recent report he co-authored titled “The role of policymakers in mobilising private finance to ensure a credible and just transition in steel and cement.” This insightful report, created at the request of the G20 Brazilian Presidency, was a key input for the Sustainable Finance Working Group (G20 SFWG) July meetings and informed their high-level discussions on sustainable finance.
ResponsibleSteel, an international non-profit organization dedicated to promoting sustainable practices within the steel industry, has recently published a comprehensive report titled “Charting Progress to 1.5°C.” The Green Steel World team had the privilege of speaking with Dr. Alli Devlin, Senior Decarbonization Advisor at ResponsibleSteel and the primary author of the report. Dr. Devlin offered invaluable insights into the report’s findings and its implications for the iron and steel industry.
With the investment into upgrading the annealing and coating line for non-oriented electrical steel, SIJ Acroni has established the conditions for the pioneering production of the most advanced electrical steel through the EAF route. These are the grades that form the heart of electric-powered vehicles of the future.
Motivated by the need for digitalization, sustainability and transparent price discovery, Dr. Sebastian Kreft and Dr. Frank Jackel, Co-Founders and Managing Directors of Metalshub, embarked on their journey in 2016 and laid the groundwork for their company´s inception. They commenced development in 2017 and officially launched their services later that year, marking the beginning of their mission to revolutionize the metals and mining sector. The Green Steel World team was delighted to receive the opportunity to speak with Dr. Kreft.
