Positioning SA as a global leader in green iron and steel - Mining Magazine Australia



The State Government has outlined a path to be a leader in the global decarbonisation of iron and steel with the unveiling of a Green Iron and Steel Strategy, alongside a $3.6 million State Budget investment. The strategy outlines three objectives and nine key actions the government will take to establish a world-leading green iron industry and supply chain in South Australia, including the ambition to facilitate a new hydrogen-based green iron plant in South Australian by 2030 or earlier.

Leaders from the mining, steel and energy sectors attended a forum on 20 June to discuss the future of South Australia’s green iron and steel industry. These include BHP, BlueScope, Fortescue Energy, GFG Alliance, Nippon Steel, NatSteel, Thyssenkrupp, Lodestone Mines, Magnetite Mines, Iron Road, ZEN Energy, Epic Energy, Flinders Port Holdings, ElectraNet, Aurizon, Cavpower and HSBC Bank. Companies will have until 1 October to submit their EoI. A report outlining submissions and next steps will then be developed and is expected to be released before the end of 2024."

Good times.
