9 Mar, 2023, 6:00 am

As part of POSCO’s strategy to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, POSCO is actively engaged in activities to secure low-carbon steel raw materials in Australia. On the 30 January 2023, Western Australia Premier Mr Mark McGowan visited POSCO and discussed with Mr. Jeong-woo Choi, CEO of POSCO Group, about future new business cooperation, such as investment cooperation in hydrogen and core minerals.

Then, Mr. Yong-soo Kim, POSCO’s Head of Purchasing and Investment Division, visited Western Australia during 8-10 March 2023 and asked for active cooperation and support for POSCO’s HBI project in Western Australia through follow-up working-level meetings with key government officials.

POSCO has established a plan to produce HBI in Australia in 2021 and has been conducting feasibility studies. In May 2022, POSCO applied for a land lease in the Boodarie Strategic Industrial Area to the Western Australian government to promote the HBI project in Western Australia. At the end of December 2022, the site allocation was approved by the Western Australian government and as the site is secured, the full-scale project is expected to be carried out soon.

Hot Briquetted Iron is made by molding Direct Reduced Iron into a briquette shape. It is an essential raw material for producing high-quality steel during electric operations. POSCO is moving forward with the introduction of an electric furnace for a phased transition to a carbon-neutral production system, so a stable supply and demand of high-quality HBI is pivotal.

thyssenkrupp Materials Offers Emissions Reduction Certificates VCC

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
9 Mar, 2023, 6:00 am

Through its subsidiary thyssenkrupp Materials Trading, thyssenkrupp Materials Services now offers emission reduction certificates. With these Voluntary Carbon Credits (VCCs) customers can offset emissions along their own production and value chains and contribute to achieving climate targets. thyssenkrupp Materials Services, the biggest mill-independent materials distributor and service provider in the Western world, is thus the first company in its sector to offer Voluntary Carbon Credits.

The certificates are selected in accordance with careful criteria that must be reviewed and developed continuously. In addition, coordination takes place with the customers regarding their wishes. When selecting projects, the question of whether they are sustainable and accompanied by additional measures plays a critical role. Examples of such projects include reforestation, expansion of drinking water supplies and direct air capture carbon and storage. This involves extracting CO2 out of the atmosphere or a vent, compressing it into rock layers and storing it in mine tunnels, for example. The portfolio also includes biochar projects. Biochar is a process in which biomass is compressed under extreme heat so that no CO2 can escape. The resulting product is used as a plant fertilizer, for example.

Emissions that are harmful to the climate may only be offset and thus retired once. It is therefore crucial that the process is transparent and recorded in accessible registers to ensure that emission values are assigned to specific VCCs. A prerequisite for offsetting is knowledge of one's own CO2 footprint. At thyssenkrupp Materials Services this is achieved with the Product Carbon Footprint Calculator introduced in 2022. This calculator measures all emissions along a product's supply chain and thus provides clarity on the status quo. The aim is for these emissions to also be offset directly via VCCs in the future.

The VCC Desk at thyssenkrupp Materials Trading handles the careful selection, procurement and transparent and orderly retirement of emission reduction certificates centrally for thyssenkrupp Materials Services and for its own customers. The resulting offset is relevant both for the company's own emissions, Company Carbon Footprint, and for emissions in connection with the customer's trading products, Product Carbon Footprint.

The Voluntary Carbon Credit Desk is part of thyssenkrupp Materials Services' sustainability strategy BEYOND, which is based on internationally recognized ESG criteria but goes beyond legal requirements and standards, hence BEYOND.

thyssenkrupp Materials Trading is an international trading and service company headquartered in Essen, Germany. The product range includes raw materials such as alloys, nonferrous metals, minerals, coke, coal and ores, various raw materials for future technologies, metallurgical products such as steel and tubes, pipe accessories, finished steel and stainless steel, as well as trading in new and used industrial equipment, machine tools, spare parts and construction elements for hydraulic steelwork and the offshore sector, and material and logistics services of all kinds. The range is rounded off by customized offers including financing and shipping.

China's Steel Exports Cross 12M Ton in Jan-Feb 2023

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
9 Mar, 2023, 6:01 am

China’s General Administration of Customs latest data reveals that China's finished steel exports totaled 12.19M tonnes during January-February 2023, up 49% YoY, mainly due to the low base in January-February 2022 when the country exported just 8.23M ton

Following the relaxation of COVID prevention and containment measures in China last December, the domestic steel market experienced a surge in sentiment. Despite this, the recovery rate within the home steel market proved to be slower than anticipated. As a result, Chinese steel mills have shifted their focus towards exports.

Regarding steel imports, China imported 1.23M ton of finished steel products during January-February, down by 44.2% YoY

China’s General Administration of Customs latest data China began to release combined trade data for January-February in 2020 to factor out disruptions to trade caused by the Chinese New Year holiday, which either falls in January or in February each year.

British Steel to Supply Rail Sleepers to CBG in Guinea

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
9 Mar, 2023, 6:01 am

British Steel has won its largest ever order of 244,000 ton for rail sleepers export to Guinea in West Africa. British Steel’s contract with the Guinea Bauxite Company (CBG) will see it deliver 20,000 ton of its 436 profile steel sleepers over the next year.

Sleepers will be used to upgrade the railway line at a bauxite mine in the mineral-rich country. British Steel has partnered on the project with Trackwork, which processes the rolled sleeper into its finished form, and Pandrol, which is providing the railway fastenings to secure the sleepers.

Guinea is estimated to possess more than a quarter of the world’s supply of bauxite and as it continues to increase its export capacity, it needs to upgrade existing freight lines.

Steel sleepers are stronger and more durable than wooden sleepers, which have been traditionally used in African regions. Steel sleepers are also 100% recyclable. Additionally, the transportation of steel sleepers is much more efficient than the transportation of their concrete equivalents as they are lighter and easily stacked. Trucks can carry 3 times more steel sleepers than concrete, meaning lower transportation costs.

GCC mills eye billet exports to Turkiye
273 Views

Integrated mills in the Gulf Cooperation Council are receiving many billet enquiries, mainly from Turkiye, and are mulling increasing billet supply and reducing rebar production during the upcoming Ramadan, Kallanish observes.

Jindal Shadeed in Oman, Emirates Steel in United Arab Emirates, Qatar Steel in Qatar and Hadeed in Saudi Arabia have received multiple billet enquiries from Turkey and are preparing to issue quotes. However, mills in the bloc are having difficulty assessing the Turkish market since rebar and billet quotes there have softened this week, while there have been no steps taken to remove Turkey’s import duty on rebar and billet.

The Omani mill is heard targeting $625-635/tonne fob, equating to $675-680/t cfr Turkiye, while Iranian-origin billet is available at $625-635/t cfr depending on tonnage, both for April shipment.

Sellers are throwing out 150mm 3sp billet offers at $640-650/t cfr Turkiye for April shipment to test the Turkish market, but even this price is not inducing interest.

"After natural gas and electricity prices declined in Turkiye, costs decreased and Turkish mills are not ready to pay more than $630/t cfr, if the producer's country has no free trade agreement with Turkey," comments a senior mill official familiar with the Turkish market.

“The mills based in the earthquake area in Turkiye were granted a privilege, extending the inward processing regime from four months to the end of 2023. That means when they import billet they can export re-rolled rebar until the end of the year and mills won’t be under time pressure,” comments a sector analyst. “Mills in the rest of the country applied for the same regulation but, so far, no positive response was received from the Turkish government. Moreover, removing the import duty on billet and rebar has been rejected by the Turkish government.”

“I think a workable billet price for the Turkish market is $625-630/t cfr. If Russian billet would soften to $580-590/t fob from today’s $620/t fob, then billet buying activity will boost in Turkey,” opines a trader.

“Mills in the GCC should see the picture more realistically. Turkish plans for 4 million tonnes of rebar purchasing in 3-4 months, announced in mid-February, are not realistic, and gave a false message to the market and increased scrap and semis prices. I expect to see a price correction,” he adds.

Last week, the UAE and Turkey signed a free trade agreement, although it is unclear to what extent this will impact ferrous trade.

ArcelorMittal Merger Creates Major Steel Company
Mark Renders/Getty Images News

Stripping out carbon from steel production would drive up prices by 10%-20%, potentially invalidating green producers' business model, ArcelorMittal (NYSE:MT) CEO Aditya Mittal said Thursday.

"The cost to decarbonize steel is not so prohibitive, so the system could take it," the CEO said at a World Trade Organization event, according to Reuters, but 10%-20% for the steel industry is a lot because we have low margins... If someone comes in and undercuts, and then steel companies which are producing decarbonized steel will not have a viable business mode."

Separately, ArcelorMittal (MT) said it has completed the acquisition of Companhia Siderúrgica do Pecém in Brazil for an enterprise value of ~$2.2B.

ArcelorMittal (MT) has said the deal will expand its position in the high-growth Brazilian steel industry and add 3M metric tons of high-quality and cost-competitive slab capacity.
