   Published on :
   21 Oct, 2021, 5:41 am
   
   Gothenburg Sweden based bearing and seal manufacturing company SKF has announced its commitment to have a supply chain with net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. SKF President & CEO Mr Rickard Gustafson said “Having already made significant progress on our journey to reducing emissions from our own operations to net zero by 2030, we are today committing to an even more ambitious goal, spanning our full supply chain. Reaching this goal will require major focus and commitment from our own operations, as well as from our suppliers, partners and customers.”
   
   From 2022, the Group’s manufacturing site in Gothenburg, Sweden will become the third site to achieve net zero status. This will be achieved by utilizing green energy and investing in more energy efficient processes. The SKF sites that have already achieved this are Tudela, Spain, and Steyr, Austria.
   
   As milestones towards the new 2050 goal, SKF commits to reduce CO2 emissions in its supply chain by 45% by 2035 and by 60% by 2040. In addition, SKF has pledged to source at least 40% of steel from carbon neutral steel plants by 2040 and to reduce transport-related greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2040. This will align with the Paris Climate Agreement to reach net zero global emissions by 2050 and to limit global warming to 1.5 degree Celsius.
   
   SKF has already taken an important step towards this goal by investing in more energy efficient manufacturing processes and requiring energy-intensive suppliers of steel and forgings to adopt the ISO 50001 standard for systematic energy management. 85% of all suppliers in scope now have this certification.
   
   As part of its commitment to transparency and collaboration, SKF joined the Science Based Target Initiative in July 2021. The Group is also advocating for change through its engagement in the SteelZero, RE100 and ResponsibleSteel initiatives.

   21 Oct, 2021, 5:44 am
   
   Leading Philippine’s nickel miner Global Ferronickel Holdings Inc said its USD 50 million rebar steel rolling plant project in Bataan will be impemented next year and that it intends to bear the entire cost of the project. Global Ferronickel Holdings President Mr Dante R Bravo said “The project is still going to push through except that we are going to own it 100%. We decided to put all the investments by ourselves instead of partnering with other parties. We believe that we have the capacity to do that. Only at this point we are hampered by the Covid-19 pandemic. But we will push with that. We cannot do construction this year, next year possibly.”
   
   Two years ago, Global Ferronickel Holdings announced that it has partnered with Hong Kong-based Huarong Asia Ltd. for the steel plant, with Huarong shouldering 51% of the total investment. The start of the commercial operations for steel plant project, which was unveiled by Global Ferronickel Holdings in mid-2019, was targeted to start by 2022. However, the Covid-19 pandemic derailed the project’s timeline.
   
   The rebar steel-rolling plant will have an annual production capacity of 600,000 tonnes. With the steel plant project, the company is aiming to corner 5% of the 10-million tonne local steel market.
   
   Global Ferronickel Holdings FNI is the second-largest nickel producer in Phiippines. The company through unit Platinum Group Metals Corp operates a mine in Surigao del Norte.

   Tenaris’s Energy Management Driving Efficiencies to Cuts Emissions
   
   Strategic Research Institute
   Published on :
   21 Oct, 2021, 5:53 am
   
   Global seamless pipe maker Tenaris is carrying out an energy investment plan to increase efficiency across its global footprint and contribute to the company’s targets of lowering its carbon emissions intensity. The USD 6 million investment allocated this year, part of a larger, ongoing energy management project, encompasses a range of energy conscious activities from adding energy monitoring meters in some of its mills, switching to LED lighting, electrification of processes and higher efficiency equipment such as compressors, pumps and fans in its plants.
   
   The plan also includes the global rollout of a new energy monitoring dashboard, developed by Tenaris, and currently being piloted at its Dalmine plant in Italy, that allows for the real-time monitoring of energy consumption versus standard use, with the ability to analyze trends of each source: electricity, natural gas, water, air, nitrogen, and oxygen. The dashboard aims to consolidate and standardize visual performance indicators, and in the near future, will include notifications to alert of any deviations to guide and inform adjustments at the plants.
   
   Several of heating furnaces are being studied in order to evaluate the improvements needed to reduce consumption while reducing emissions of nitrogen oxides the main environmental concern related to natural gas furnaces. This is an aspect that Tenaris has been focusing during the last years through the adoption of best available technologies to improve emission levels in its processes, from the steel shops to reheating furnaces.
   
   During 2020, Tenaris NOx emissions represented about 1kg/ton of the finished product, a value which considers Tenaris four steel facilities based in Argentina, Italy, Mexico and Romania, the DRI plant in Argentina and five rolling mill facilities including reheating and heat treatment processes.
   
   To minimize NOx emissions, Tenaris partnered with sister company Tenova which designed best-in class combustion technology burners for reheating furnaces. The company’s plant in Bay City in Texas is equipped with the flameless NOx reducing burners which also improves the use of natural gas, the plant’s sole fuel. Tenova has heavily invested in research & development to improve its combustion process through innovative technologies with the goal of minimizing NOx emissions, reduce and diversify fuel consumption, and optimize performances. As part of an ongoing R&D project, Tenaris will be testing the use of hydrogen as a fuel on one of its furnaces during 2022.

   MMK Reduces Production Hazards at By Product Coke Plant
   
   Strategic Research Institute
   Published on :
   21 Oct, 2021, 6:03 am
   
   Russian steel maker Magnitogorsk Iron & Steel Works is continuing efforts to boost production safety and reduce emissions at its facilities. The Company is using high-tech innovations to achieve this, in particular, machine vision. This technology provides basis for the automatic gas detection system implemented at coke batteries No 7-8. The system, which includes several video cameras installed both on the battery itself and in its immediate vicinity, as well as a sophisticated software unit, makes it possible to detect leakage of toxic coke gas containing benzapyrene. If the door is gassed, the operator is automatically alerted on their monitor, allowing timely action to be taken. The project therefore reduces both the workload for staff and the risk of gas emissions into the atmosphere. In addition, machine learning technology is also used here: the system not only recognizes leaks, but also stores all the information in its database, analyses it and uses it to create a repair schedule.
   
   This is not the only digital innovation at coke batteries No 7-8. An automated system to prevent personnel from being in hazardous areas has also been implemented here. This project is based on Industrial Internet of Things and machine vision technologies: coke machines are equipped with special sensors to track when an employee enters the hazardous area, and employees are provided with personal RFID tags which vibrate in the area. This is followed first by the coke machine activating light and sound alarms, to then finally shut down.
   
   Also, since the beginning of 2021, the Company has been replacing the doors of coke ovens in order to reduce coke gas leakage into the atmosphere. More than one hundred gas tight doors manufactured by Bluesky have already been installed at coke batteries No7-8: gas leakage is virtually reduced to zero. In addition, a pneumatic sealing system was installed on 260 covers of gas outlets, which completely eliminated emissions and made the work of the hatch attendants easier.
   
   In addition, to reduce exposure to hazardous and harmful factors, the employees of coke production: doormen, hatch attendants, gas collection operators are issued aluminized hazmat suits and closed-type safety glasses, to protect respiratory organs, as well as half-masks with replaceable filters. All coking machines are equipped with automatic barriers which prevent personnel from entering the zone of machinery operation. As part of the environmental programme, a new door extracting machine was purchased and put into operation, the main difference from the existing ones being a pre-installed aspiration system. It will allow capturing and filtering dust and gas emissions, which are generated when coke is discharged from the furnaces.

    Indian HRC offers hike on strong domestic demand
    357 Views
    
    Indian mills have increased export offers for hot rolled coil on the back of higher demand and prices in the domestic market. Global demand, however, remains low and the market is witnessing a gap between sellers’ offers and buyers’ expectations.
    
    Indian-origin 2mm+ SAE grade HRC mill offers to Vietnam are noted at $910-920/tonne cfr Ho Chi Minh City. However, traders’ offers are reported at $890-900/t cfr. Buyers’ expectations are low, on weak demand and cheap offers from other countries, at $870-880/t cfr. No deal for India-origin HRC was heard in Vietnam this week.
    
    Indian mills are offering 2mm+ SAE grade HRC at $860-870/t fob Indian east coast, and freight to Vietnam in the spot market is noted at $55-60/t, Kallanish notes.
    
    “Demand is still low; buyers are hesitant to book any quantity at high prices from India right now,” says a senior trader active in ASEAN. “Indian mills have stopped floating offers in the market and are focusing more on the domestic market over exports. Offers in the domestic market are noted at INR 68,000-69,000/t ($908-922/t) ex-works, owing to which mills expect high offers from the global market also. Domestic stockists have commenced restocking of HRC and are offering it at INR 71,000/t for November deliveries.”
    
    “Many traders and buyers are witnessing a banking credit limit crunch owing to the hike in steel prices. Traders are no longer able to book large quantities with the same credit limit offered by the banks as they were able to book before. It has also impacted purchasing and deals in the market,” he adds.
    
    Offers to United Arab Emirates and neighbouring countries increased marginally on Monday, by $10-15/t on-week to $915-920/t cfr Jebel Ali for December shipments. An Indian mill was heard concluding a deal for 10,000 tonnes of HRC at $908-910/t cfr Jebel Ali on Sunday. Indian mills are offering 2mm+ SAE grade HRC at $865-870/t fob Indian west coast and spot freight to UAE is noted at $50-65/t.
    
    “Indian mills are seen pushing HRC offers in the Middle Eastern market,” says a senior trader active in Dubai. “However, buyers’ expectations are low on the back of low offers from other origins. The push in the offers by mills has created a gap between offers and expectations of the buyers, which might be beneficial for other origins.”
    
    Owing to the exhausted EU quota, Indian mills have lowered their offers to $980-990/t cfr Europe. However, European buyers are heard bidding for HRC at $910-920/t cfr Europe. Spot market freight to Europe from India is noted at $80-90/t.
    
    “Brazilian, Turkish and even Vietnamese traders are actively offering and selling HRC in Europe now,” says a trader active in the region. “India is out now due to its exhausted quota. Buyers are heard asking for HRC at a very low price owing to the additional 25% duties on post-quota imports.”

    Recordwinst voor Nucor
    Staalbedrijf profiteert van hogere staalprijs.
    
    (ABM FN-Dow Jones) Nucor heeft in het derde kwartaal een recordwinst geboekt dankzij hogere verkoopprijzen, en verwacht nog meer winst in het lopende kwartaal. Dat maakte de staalfabrikant uit de Amerikaanse staat North Carolina donderdagmiddag bekend.
    
    De gemiddelde verkoopprijs per ton staal lag 22 procent hoger dan in het tweede kwartaal en zelfs 86 procent hoger dan een jaar eerder. De netto-omzet steeg zo naar 10,3 miljard dollar, van 4,9 miljard dollar een jaar eerder en 8,8 miljard dollar in het tweede kwartaal van dit jaar.
    
    De nettowinst bedroeg 2,1 miljard dollar, of 7,28 dollar per aandeel. Een jaar eerder was dit nog slechts 193 miljoen dollar of 0,63 per aandeel. In het tweede kwartaal van dit jaar was de winst 1,5 miljard dollar.
    
    "We hebben nu al meer winst geboekt dan in het hele recordjaar 2018", zei CEO Leon Topalian.
    
    Outlook
    
    Nucor voorziet in het vierde kwartaal sterke resultaten, mogelijk meer dan de recordwinst van het derde kwartaal. De vraag blijft robuust in de meeste eindmarkten en die trend zal naar verwachting nog ruim tot in het volgende jaar aanhouden, volgens het staalbedrijf.
    
    De orderboeken van de staalfabrieken en staalproducten blijven bovengemiddeld goed gevuld. In beide segmenten voorziet het bedrijf een betere winstgevendheid in het vierde kwartaal. In het segment grondstoffen wordt een lagere winst verwacht vergeleken met het voorgaande kwartaal door margedruk.

    Deloitte Verifies Greenhouse Gas Emissions at NLMK
    
    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    22 Oct, 2021, 5:42 am
    
    The international auditing company Deloitte has verified the calculations of greenhouse gas emissions of Novolipetsk Iron and Steel Works for 2020 in accordance with the methodology applied in the EU. NLMK's CO2 emissions per tonne of pig iron amounted to 1.39 tonnes CO2 per tonne. For comparison, the indicator of 10% of the metallurgical enterprises of the European Union with the lowest level of emissions is 1.36 tonne ??2 per tonne. NLMK's indicator is significantly better than the average emission level of European producers - 1.50 per tonne ??2 per tonne.
    
    The verification of NLMK's greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with the EU ETS methodology was carried out for the first time; in the future, NLMK plans to confirm the data annually.
    
    NLMK's program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions for five years from 2016 to 2020 allowed to reduce CO2 emissions per ton of steel by 4%. Until 2023, the company plans to further reduce this figure by another 3%.

    TMK to Increase Share of Recycled Water Supply Up to 98%
    
    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    22 Oct, 2021, 5:44 am
    
    Russian Pipe Metallurgical Company TMK continues to improve the environmental performance of production and in the next three years will invest 1.5 billion rubles in increasing the share of recycled water supply to 98%, as well as about 1 billion rubles, for further work to reduce the volume of waste. TMK Director for Special Projects Mr Vyacheslav Popkov said that “Following a large-scale modernization of factories and the transition to an electric steel-making production, TMK reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 60%, through the introduction of a closed circulation cycle, halved the volume of wastewater discharges, and also reduced production volumes by 40%. We are not satisfied with what has already been achieved. Now a comprehensive three-year program is being implemented to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 8%, the costs will amount to about three billion rubles. The effect will be achieved, in particular, due to the modernization of existing gas cleaning plants and the transition to modern energy-saving technologies for lighting and ensuring the operation of production units.”
    
    According to him, TMK is also conducting an inventory of emission sources and is preparing to verify the calculations of greenhouse gas emissions according to international standards, which is scheduled for the first quarter of 2022. He said “Measures are also planned to modernize the water supply system. About 1.5 billion rubles will be allocated to further increase the share of the closed cycle. Now it on average for enterprises is about 96%, in three years we want to reach the figure of 98% and thus minimize water consumption and discharges of treated effluents. Another area is waste management. Over this period, about a billion rubles will be spent on deepening processing.”
    
    Mr Popkov added that the project for the construction of a plant for the production of flat stainless steel products in the Volzhsky town of the Volgograd region will also be implemented taking into account the latest environmental requirements.

    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    22 Oct, 2021, 5:47 am
    
    Russian steel giant Severstal has begun industrial supplies of special sections for railway transport to the largest car-building companies. For the Tikhvin Freight Car Building Plant, Severstal has mastered two standard sizes of a special profile, which are used in the production of covered wagons. Now the portfolio of our products is represented by hot-rolled steel used for the production of freight car bodies, shaped tubes for strapping them, as well as special profiles that are in demand as a load-bearing element that provides the necessary structural rigidity.
    
    Severstal's product portfolio for railroad car builders is represented by hot-rolled steel used for freight car hulls manufactured at Mills 2000, 2800 and 5000 of the Cherepovets Steel Works Steel division. In addition to hot-rolled sheets and coils, the company supplies railcar builders with profiled tubular products that are in demand for strapping hulls. Now the product portfolio will be supplemented with a special profile made of hot and cold rolled steel, which is used by customers as a load-bearing element for stiffening car body structures. Since the beginning of 2020, the company has been developing a production scheme and mastering a new product for itself.
    
    At the same time, Severstal continues to supply hot-rolled sheets and coils for TVSZ under a long-term agreement. The metal produced at the Cherepovets Metallurgical Plant is used by the company for the manufacture of body parts for cars of various models, including gondola cars, hopper cars, platform cars, and tank cars.
    
    Severstal is also considering the possibility of supplying a special profile to other car-building companies in Russia, responding to their interest in the new product.

    Thyssenkrupp Materials Services to Become Climate Neutral by 2030
    
    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    22 Oct, 2021, 5:52 am
    
    Thyssenkrupp Materials Services has reaffirmed its own sustainability ambitions and significantly increasing its self-imposed climate protection targets. The company will be carbon-neutral worldwide as early as 2030, around 20 years earlier than originally set. Thyssenkrupp Materials Services Chairman Mr Martin Stillger said “With this decision, we are taking responsibility in the fight against climate change and are underlining our claim to leadership in the industry. As the largest factory-independent materials dealer and service provider in the western world, we can exert influence in over 40 countries around the world.”
    
    When it comes to climate protection, the company focuses on those aspects in which improvements can be made using our own resources: All direct emissions at over 400 locations worldwide and all our own indirect emissions from energy consumption are reduced as much as possible. In this way, Materials Services will achieve a reduction in CO 2 from 2030-Emissions by more than 100,000 tons per year. This corresponds to the consumption of a small German town with around 12,500 inhabitants and is around 60 percent less than in the 2017/2018 financial year (187,220 tons). Energy efficiency programs, the switch to green electricity, investments in photovoltaics and the switch to LED lighting are used to achieve this goal. As early as 2024, the Service Center in Krefeld will be the first Materials Services location to be climate-neutral.
    
    Emissions that cannot be avoided at the present time because neither the appropriate technologies nor the necessary infrastructure are currently available on the market are offset by climate protection projects. This applies, for example, to parts of the company's own truck fleet or to special machines and vehicles in the field of steelworks services in Germany.
