Anglo American PLC said Wednesday that it is partnering with
Salzgitter AG to decarbonize the steelmaking industry.
The mining company has signed a memorandum of understanding with
Salzgitter Flachstahl, the largest steel manufacturer subsidiary of
Salzgitter, to explore ways to reduce carbon emissions in the
industry.
They intend to conduct research into feed materials, including
iron ore pellets and lump iron ores, suitable for use in direct
reduction steelmaking based on natural gas and hydrogen. This is a
significantly less carbon-intensive method than the conventionally
used blast furnace process, Anglo American said.
Anglo American has a target to achieve carbon neutrality across
its operations by 2040.
