   H2 Green Steel to Build Fossil Free Steel Plant in Northern Sweden
   
   H2 Green Steel will be a large-scale steel producer based on a fossil-free manufacturing process targeting large European OEMs. H2GS will be located in the Boden-Lulea region in northern Sweden that offers unique conditions for fossil-free steel production. The project includes a giga-scale green hydrogen plant as an integrated part of the steel production facility. H2GS will build a large-scale, Greenfield steel manufacturing facility in the Norrbotten region in northern Sweden to enable production of fossil-free steel at a leading cost position. Production will begin in 2024 and by 2030 H2GS will have annual production capacity of 5 million tonnes of high quality steel. Mr Henrik Henriksson, currently CEO of Scania, will lead the company. This initiative has been developed in close collaboration between Vargas, and several strategic and financial investors that are global leaders in sustainability and digitalisation. H2GS is in the process of closing its series A equity financing of EUR 50 million from a select group of investors, including Vargas, Scania, SMS group, BILSTEIN GROUP, EIT InnoEnergy, Cristina Stenbeck, Daniel Ek, Altor Fund V, and IMAS Foundation. The founder and largest shareholder is Vargas, which is also co-founder and one of the largest shareholders in Northvolt. The total finances for the first phase of the project amounts to approximately EUR 2.5 billion, which will be raised through a combination of equity and green project financing. Morgan Stanley, Societe Generale and KfW IPEX-Bank, are acting as financial advisors to H2GS. Sweco is advising in the engineering and permit process.
   
   H2GS and Northvolt Chairman Mr Carl-Erik Lagercrantz said “We want to accelerate the transformation of the European steel industry. Electrification was the first step in reducing carbon dioxide emissions from the transportation industry. The next step is to build vehicles from high-quality fossil free steel. A Scania truck weighs about six tons and five of those are steel, which today unfortunately is produced with a substantial carbon footprint.”
   
   An important source of inspiration for the initiative is the groundbreaking HYBRIT project and its founders SSAB, LKAB, and Vattenfall. H2GS looks forward to a close collaboration with the HYBRIT-founders, sharing the vision to position Sweden at the forefront of fossil-free steel production. H2GS is built on the experience and lessons learned from the establishment of Northvolt. The business model is based on a close partnership with strategic customers, including a deep collaboration on product development, process technology, recycling strategies and logistics.
   
   H2 Green Steel was founded in 2020. H2GS is forming a strong management team with complementary backgrounds and global experience from the steel industry, key customer segments, R&D, digitalisation, financing, and public affairs.
   
   The global steel industry is one of the world’s largest emitters of carbon dioxide, representing approximately seven percent of global CO2 emissions. Demand for fossil-free steel is growing substantially with strong interest from global market leaders in sectors such as automotive, commercial vehicles, white goods, furniture, etc. The steel industry is struggling to accelerate the transition to fossil-free steel manufacturing at scale.

   AP Plans to Pass Resolution against RINL VSP Privatization
   
   Deccan Chronicle reported that the Andhra Pradesh Cabinet has decided to pass a resolution in the state Assembly against privatisation of the Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited. The resolution will be introduced in the budget session of the Assembly after the municipal elections. AP’s Minister For Transport & Information Mr Perni Venkataramaiah Nani said “AP Chief Minister Mr YS Jagan Mohan Reddy visited Visakhapatnam and held lengthy discussions with trade union representatives and mass organisations on the privatization move. Keeping these in view, the Cabinet has decided to pass a resolution in the assembly in the budget session. The Assembly resolution would give strength to the ongoing agitation against the privatization.”
   
   Welcoming the resolution, State CITU President Narsinga Rao said “The resolution should be concrete and resist the bidding of RINL. A mere general resolution will not be effective. It would pep up the agitation and more organisations would join the movement against the privatization.”

   Demerger of Nagarnar Steel Plant from NMDC Likely to be Delayed
   
   As per recent media reports, India's largest iron ore producer NMDC may have to wait till the end of monsoon this year before commissioning its three million ton steel plant and initiating the process of its demerger and subsequent disinvestment. Reports quoted government sources as saying that though 3 million tonne steel plant is likely to be commissioned in July-August 2021, it could be delayed beyond monsoon and are likely to coincide with the demerger of the steel plant. This would allow for completion of work on a byproduct unit and coke oven batteries. So, the demerger process itself may get extended to late this year or in the first quarter of calendar year 2022
   
   The Board of Directors of the NMDC in August had already accorded in principle proposal to demerge the Nagarnar Steel Plant with itself. In October, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs approved the demerger of the Nagarnar Steel Plant or NMDC Iron and Steel Plant from NMDC and strategic disinvestment of the demerged entity by offloading the entire government shareholding to a buyer. After the process is completed, the Nagarnar Steel Plant shall be a separate company and the managements of the NMDC and the Nagarnar Steel Plant shall be accountable for their respective operations and financial performance.
   
   Nagarnar Steel Plant is a 3 million ton per annum Integrated Steel Plant being set up by the NMDC at Nagarnar in Chhattisgarh's Bastar district in an area of 1,980 acres at revised estimated cost of INR 23,140 crore. As of October, the NMDC has invested INR 17,186 crore on the project out of which INR 16,662 crore is from its own funds and INR 524 crore has been raised from bond market.

    Zenith Steel Starts Primetals Billet Caster in Changzhou
    
    A 10 strand billet caster upgraded by Primetals Technologies was started up in the converter steel making plant 3 in Changzhou of Chinese steel producer Zenith Steel Group Co Ltd in January 2021. The billet caster is the first one worldwide to be equipped with the new Single Roll DynaGap segments. The SRD segment has been specially developed for use in the area of final solidification, and it enables the upper rolls to be pressed down individually onto the solidifying strand. This enables the final solidification point to be followed precisely. Technological packages like DynaPhase, Dynacs 3D and DynaGap SoftReduction 3D further improve the internal billet quality with regard to center porosity and center segregation. The new 10 strand billet caster of Zenith Steel in its Changzhou, Jiangsu Province plant has a rated capacity of 2 million tonnes per year. It produces section with a cross section of 160 x 160 millimeters at a maximum casting speed of 2.4 meters per minute. Steel grades processed include low, medium and high carbon steels as well as tube, spring, cold heading and tyre cord steels.
    
    Precise knowledge of the final solidification point and the associated soft reduction is needed to reliably produce billets for steel grades that require high internal quality. The new SRD segments from Primetals Technologies can be applied to the final solidification precisely. This enables each individual roll gap to be adjusted dynamically as a function of the steel grade, overheating, cooling or casting speed. Each roll transmits an individual force, which makes even higher thickness reduction rates possible, and reduces the segregation and porosity in the center of the strand. Additionally, thickness reduction of the billet or bloom also after final solidification is possible. This process is defined as Hard Reduction and can furthermore reduce the porosity of the cast billet and bloom. SRD segments are designed for long operating cycles and easy maintenance. For example, each roll has its own overload protection, which prevents damage to the bearings and surfaces of the rolls. The rolls are embedded in a function unit so that they can be quickly replaced in a maintenance workshop. The individual roll units can also be tested and calibrated before installation of the segments in the caster.
    
    Technological packages supplied by Primetals Technologies include process models for soft and hard reduction, namely DynaPhase, Dynacs 3D and DynaGap SoftReduction 3D. The DynaPhase online thermodynamic phase transformation model calculates material properties like thermal enthalpy, thermal conductivity, density and solid fraction. The Dynacs 3D secondary-cooling model is capable of calculating the full 3D strand-temperature profile at any position along the strand for optimum adjustment of the secondary-cooling setpoints and the determination of the point of final strand solidification. Finally, DynaGap SoftReduction 3D fully automatic roll-gap control system allows for dynamic soft reduction to minimize centerline segregation for improved internal strand quality
    
    Within the modernization project, Primetals Technologies was also responsible for the basic and detail engineering and supply of mechanical equipment like roller blocks, spray header and WSU units as well as the complete basic (level 1) automation system and process optimization application (level 2).
    
    Zenith Steel is privately owned and operates an integrated steel mill in Changzhou in the Jiangsu province of China. The company's steel mill has a production capacity of more than ten million tonnes of steel per year. Zenith Steel manufactures a wide range of end products, including steel pipes, bearing and spring steel, and various structural steels.

    Japanese Steel Industry on Carbon Neutral 2050 Path
    
    The Japan Iron and Steel Federation have recently formulated the Basic Policy of the Japanese Steel Industry for Japan's 2050 Carbon Neutral.
    
    (1) JISF supports and contributes to Japan's ambitious policy of 2050 carbon neutrality. To that end, the Japanese steel industry will
    
    Boldly take on the challenge of achieving zero carbon steel.
    
    Contribute to technology and products
    
    Contribute to the steel industry's own production process.
    
    (2) The realization of zero carbon steel cannot be expected to reach practical use in a straight line
    
    Because it is a high challenge of dollars, JISF is currently promoting COURSE 50 and Ferro Cork
    
    CO2 reduction in blast furnaces using gas, etc. + CCUS and even hydrogen reduction iron making
    
    In addition to the challenge of developing ultra-innovative technology, expanding scrap use, unused waste heat such as medium and low temperatures, and buying
    
    JISF will promote it in a double track by combining all means
    
    .
    
    (3) Super innovative technology development
    
    The hydrogen reduction ratio was increased to decarbonize the steelmaking process and realize zero carbon steel
    
    Under the blast furnace method, advanced technological development such as CCUS
    
    Treat the inevitable CO2 at a high cost, or do not generate CO2
    
    There is no solution other than hydrogen reduction steelmaking. In particular, hydrogen reduction steelmaking is a blast furnace method that human beings have reached over thousands of years since recorded history. Is a completely different steelmaking process, a high ha that stands against humankind who has not yet formed a figure
    
    In addition, at the implementation stage, capital costs due to a large amount of capital investment due to the replacement of the current process. And there are operational costs, but these additional costs are solely due to decarbonisation.
    
    (4) The following are indispensable as external conditions for aiming for zero carbon steel.
    
    Large scale, inexpensive and stable supply of zero-emission hydrogen and zero emission power

    Breaking News: ArcelorMittal raises European coil offers again
    Kallanish Steel | Feb. 26, 2021
    
    ArcelorMittal has informed European customers of a new price increase, mainly for cold rolled coil, hot-dip galvanized coil and organic coated coil, Kallanish learns from sources.
    
    It is understood that HDG offers will now be lifted to €900/tonne ($1,090/t) ex-works base, representing a €20-40/t increase on current transaction levels in northern Europe. CRC and organic coated coil will see offers raised €20/t from current levels.
    
    The positive sentiment is set to also be reflected in the hot rolled coil market. However, for the time being an official increase from the latest asking price of €750/t ex-works base for northern Europe has not been announced.
    
    Market sources remain confident the upward momentum will continue in the coming months, as tight supply continues to be an issue in the sector. "When we were discussing long-term contracts in late 2020, we would have never thought HDG prices would have reached €900/t ex-works," a source at a supplier comments.
    
    "Back then we agreed contracts at below €700/t ex-works for HDG,” he continues. “Despite the big jump, we are not renegotiating existing contracts, but the increases are affecting the spot market and will be taken into consideration in new negotiations.”

    TUV SUD Confirms Green Flat Steel from Salzgitter
    
    Salzgitter AG expands its product range to include low CO2 steel grades as the first European steel manufacturer, Salzgitter AG received two declarations of conformity based on the VERIsteel process from TUV SUD. The procedure enables the verification of the product specific CO2 emissions in steel production and accompanies the process of decarbonisation. The low CO2 steel grades are produced in the Peine electric steelworks in combination with the rolling mills and galvanizing plants in Salzgitter. They meet with great interest from customers from various industries. Based on the data from 2018, TUV SUD has verified the accounting procedure for two process routes for the production of flat steel. A comparison of the two baselines shows that switching the steelmaking process from the conventional blast furnace route to the electric steel route results in a reduction of more than 75% in the CO2 balance of the slab and more than 66% in the CO2 balance of the hot-dip galvanized slab Coils is reached.
    
    For proof of product-specific CO2Emissions, it is necessary to map all relevant processes and material flows. To this end, TUV SUD has developed the VERIsteel process based on DIN EN ISO & IEC 17029 and other international standards. With the first two statements of conformity according to this standard, the testing and certification service provider confirms the correct definition of the baseline for two process routes of Salzgitter AG.

    EC Initiates Investigation to Decide Steel Safeguards Extention
    
    The European Commission has initiated an investigation to assess whether the safeguard measure currently in place on imports of certain steel products should be prolonged beyond 30 June 2021. The initiation of this investigation follows a duly substantiated request received from twelve EU Member States. The Commission will in its investigation determine, in accordance with the requirements of EU and WTO rules, whether the safeguard measure continues to be necessary to prevent or remedy serious injury to the EU steel industry and whether the industry is adjusting. The investigation will also include a Union interest assessment. The investigation will be concluded by the expiry date of the existing safeguard measure on 30 June 2021.
    
    All interested parties have 15 days to make their views known, and subsequently will be able to cross-comment on other parties' submissions. The Commission has also issued questionnaires to EU producers to assess their economic situation. The Commission will thoroughly assess all information received in the course of the investigation. It will subsequently make a proposal to Member States for a vote. The proceeding will also include consultations with third country governments. A decision will have to be taken before the end of June 2021.
    
    The Commission introduced a provisional safeguard measure on imports of certain steel products in July 2018. The measure aimed to prevent economic damage for EU steel producers, given the risk of further import increases linked, inter alia, to the introduction of trade restrictions by the US on steel products. The Commission confirmed the measure, which is fully in line with WTO commitments, in early 2019 for a period until end of June 2021. It takes the form of Tariff-Rate-Quotas reflecting traditional trade flows, which is applicable to imports into the Union of each of the 26 product categories comprising the product concerned. Where the relevant tariff-rate quota is exhausted, an additional duty of 25 % is levied on the net free-at-Union-frontier price.
