KG Let us know how your conference experience is going using #FatmarketsIIO and we hope you make the most of the last day of the largest ever Fastmarkets International Iron Ore & Green Steel Summit conference.

Wrapping up the second day of the International Iron Ore conference – here’s some key insights from the discussion so far: 🌍Increasing market attention to the MENA region as destination for new green iron & steel investment – “capital is there and not the issue” 💡Europe attracting more interest as the first market for green HBI but with a more challenging funding and project development landscape for local projects – “opex and project economics is the main issue” 🤝Joining forces with value chain partners will not be sufficient; incentives and willingness to pay higher premia are essential – “it's more expensive to produce decarbonised products” #greensteel #decarbonisation #FastmarketsIIO (photo credits to the great Michele Agostinis)

Fastmarkets International Iron Ore & Green Steel Summit kicked off yesterday with lots of great presentations and an engaging panel discussion highlighting the urgent need for decarbonisation in the steel industry. We also heard from several innovative startups that are transforming the landscape of green steel. Here are some of the takeaways from the conference so far. #FastmarketsIIO #Decarbonization #Ironore #climatechange

I had the pleasure of hosting a fireside chat with Jose Noldin, CEO of GravitHy, at the Fastmarkets International Iron Ore and Green Steel Summit in Vienna today. GravitHy is an exciting start-up which aims to build, own, and operate plants to produce DRI and HBI using green hydrogen. It is currently closing a series A funding round and expects first production in 2028 from a plant in Fos, France. Believing in the “re-industrialisation of Europe”, Jose believes the time is right for ironmaking to decouple from steel making and to relocate to geographies with access to good logistics and supplies of water. Echoing thoughts from an earlier panel on decarbonisation, he said there will be a thriving global market for green DRI and HBI, with 15-30 million tonnes needed in Europe alone in the coming years. Enablers include access to finance - equity, debt, and subsidies - and that governments will need to create demand, along with public procurement policies. #steel #ironore #decarbonisation

A market for green HBI is ‘definitely emerging’, according to panelists speaking at the Fastmarkets International Iron Ore and Green Steel Summit 2024 in Vienna today. Luisa Orre, head of procurement at H2 Green Steel, which is building a hydrogen-powered steel plant and DRI production facility in Sweden, said that sentiment has shifted from everyone wanting to produce their own green HBI to an appetite to purchase it for import, due to the challenges around using renewable energy for production. H2 will have hydrogen-based DRI production capacity of 2.1 million tonnes - too much for phase one of operations. Also discussed in the panel ‘long term iron ore strategies in light of steel decarbonisation’, were a diverse range of topics included securing the future supply of high grade iron ore needed for decarbonisation, how projects are being financed, and ESG considerations more broadly. On financing, Orre added that H2, which last year secured a record €6.5 billion of funding, demonstrated a solid business case which stood alone regardless of any premium it could achieve for producing low carbon steel. gunnar moe, CEO of Norwegian iron ore producer Rana Gruber, and Dilip George, CEO of Foulath Holding which produces pellets in the Middle East, added that they both see sufficient project financing available for iron projects which contribute to decarbonisation. #fastmarketsiio #ironore #steel #decarbonisation
