The article discusses the green steel movement's focus on electric arc furnaces to reduce carbon emissions in steel production and the challenges related to securing high-purity iron ore. While green hydrogen shows promise, uncertainties in costs have led some stakeholders to pause plans. Electra, a US startup, has developed a solution using renewable energy and electrochemistry to dissolve low-purity iron ore and produce high-purity ore suitable for electric arc furnaces. The company has attracted investments from top clean tech investors and recently launched a pilot-scale iron ore facility. Partnerships with companies like Interfer Edelstahl Group in Germany are further driving the adoption of green steel. The sustainable steel industry is gaining momentum with initiatives like the Sustainable Steel Buyers Platform, aiming to aggregate demand for decarbonized steel. The article highlights the potential for a cleaner, more circular steel industry and the role of innovative technologies in enabling a shift towards sustainable steel production.
