The Transformer Project has come to a successful close! 🎉 We ended on a high note with two fantastic site visits to thyssenkrupp and Wilo Group facilities. Now it's time to deep dive into thyssenkrupp! 🚀 Thyssenkrupp's steel plant in #Duisburg is the largest in Europe, with a capacity of 11.5 million tons of steel per year. Currently, the plant produces 9 million tons due to market conditions. 🏭 Steel production is a significant contributor to CO2 emissions, producing 1.4 tons of CO2 per ton of steel. This accounts for 5% of EU emissions and 7% globally, mainly due to the use of coke in the process. 🌱 Thyssenkrupp is pioneering a shift to a climate-neutral process. They are preparing to build a new technological system where the current blast furnace will be replaced by a Direct Reduction (DR) plant and melting unit, using hydrogen instead of coke. This new system is planned to start its operation in 2026, with a total investment of 9 billion euros required for three units over time. 🔥 Our group had the privilege of observing the first stage of steel production: the blast furnace, where hot metal is produced from metallic ore, coke, and flux. This metal is then transported by special trains for secondary metallurgy. A big thank you to thyssenkrupp for the incredible tour! 🙌 #Thyssenkrupp #Sustainability #SteelProduction #ClimateNeutral #FinalConference Spela Zalokar,Mariem CHAKROUN, Omer Onur, Robert Pudełko, Thomas Meister, Tommaso Simeoni, Paola Astegiano, Alexander Botev, Gerd Schönwälder, Markus Querfurt

What happens when two leading technology providers in the metals industry join forces, united by their passion for #sustainability and #innovation? Our EAF Consteel® equipped with ABB’s electromagnetic stirrer Consteerrer® offers low operating costs, extremely reliable and safe operations, as well as superior quality steel, all the while contributing to #climateneutral steel production. To date, it’s the most sustainable, reliable, and safe electric arc furnace (#EAF) offering on the market whose remarkable productivity rivals that of fossil-fuelled blast furnaces. “It was not so common to talk about sustainability in steel manufacturing in 2017,” says Andrea Grasselli, Head of the Proposal Department for EAFs and ladle furnaces. “But the two companies each had a proud history of constant technological development, so we put on the table this heritage, to squeeze the most from our experience, and in that moment, we started to talk about sustainability.” “Our shared passion for innovation and belief in the importance of sustainability is what brought ABB and Tenova together but when I look back on my career it will be the team spirit of the people I remember most,” comments Zaeim M., Global Sales Manager Metallurgy Products, ABB. “I’m excited to see what more we can do together to increase efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint of steel production”.

Magnetite is at the heart of the green steel revolution and its importance has caught the eye of Canberra. During a recent trip to South Australia, the PM recognised the opportunity created by SA's abundant magnetite reserves: "... by being a part of the production of green steel, by taking advantage of the enormous opportunities that are here with high quality magnetite." Magnetite is the missing piece in the green steel puzzle. Low-impurity content makes it perfect for low-carbon steel production, paving the way for a future that doesn't cost the Earth. MGT is proud to be enabling the transition, unearthing the potential of #magnetite and fuelling Australia's #GreenSteel ambitions. #MGT #magnetite #greensteel #greeniron #renewableenergy #australia #southaustralia #futureofsteel #futureofiron #decarbonisation #climatechange #innovation
