Meranti Green Steel, Singapore, made a significant step forward towards sustainability by announcing a new Green Steel project in Thailand. The cooperation agreement with Danieli aims to develop a modern DRI-based plant to produce Green Steel hot-rolled coils, making use of renewable energy solutions including solar and wind energy, and hydrogen.
Meranti’s new green steel plant promises sustainable solutions. It will feature an Energiron direct reduction plant with technology jointly developed by Tenova and Danieli, ready for a transition to 90% hydrogen; a Danieli Digimelter melting unit featuring a Q-One power feeder capable of processing green energy; and a Danieli QSP-DUE thin-slab casting and rolling line for full flexibility in terms of strip width, thickness, and steel grades. All this will guarantee the lowest energy requirements and direct carbon emissions.
Meranti’s new green steel plant will strengthen Thailand’s domestic steel production and exemplifies the commitment of countries such as Singapore and Thailand to lead the sustainable transformation of the iron and steel industry.
