"GREEN", ONE of the Biggest Investment Chances of the Century?????, page-902

from Zesty arena funding announcement 8 nov 22
Today, most approaches to decarbonise iron and steel are considering green hydrogen reduction methods connected to electric arc furnaces (EAF’s). Typically, these approaches require higher grade iron ores and will disrupt the traditional BF / BOF production route that constitutes around 75% of today’s production and consumes most of Australia’s exported iron ores. As with syngas based direct reduction, the iron ore requires pelletisation, and ultimately consumes an estimated 72 kg of hydrogen per tonne of steel

and just remember someone is supplying the ore we are testing we did speak along side rio and gupta at this conference

also this is interesting that we spoke alongside Rio Tinto and GFG(guptas comes from Middleback Ranges, located 60 kilometres from the integrated Whyalla Steelworks not that far to Bacchus marsh ) at low emissions steel conference could one of them be the supplier of ore that we have been testing
and to add Grange and FMG are both part of the HILT CRC partners as we are
The ZESTY demonstration plant The $947,035 grant from ARENA will provide approximately 48% of the funding for an eleven-month study for a 30,000 tonne per annum ZESTY-iron demonstration plant. The proposed renewably powered ZESTY-iron plant will produce green hydrogen for the direct reduction of iron ore to sponge iron. With no carbon involved throughout the process, the proposed ZESTY reactor will demonstrate a new approach to zero emissions iron and steel. Calix’s ZESTY demonstration plant will also be compatible with intermittent operation, enabling economical use of low cost renewable power and will be compatible with load balancing applications for the energy grid. The project will cover both the BOD and the FEED study required to determine the final location, specification and cost of the demonstration plant before a Final Investment Decision is taken. The project will also further establish key partnerships in industry across the hydrogen, iron ore and renewables sectors, in addition to possible end users of green iron through the Heavy Industry Lowcarbon Transition Cooperative Research Centre (HILT CRC), facilitating knowledge sharing and the ongoing development of an ecosystem for sustainable heavy industry in Australia.
