\"Carbnn<\/p>\n

Man of steel and solar energy fan Sanjeev Gupta has announced a goal to create the world\u2019s first carbon neutral steel company by 2030.<\/p>\n

Mr. Gupta said GFG Alliance\u2019s steel businesses, including Liberty Primary Steel and Mining Australia, will become part of one legal entity by the end of this year – Liberty Steel Group – with 18 million tonnes of rolled steel capacity annually.<\/p>\n

The new entity will have three divisions, Liberty Primary Steel, Liberty GreenSteel and Liberty Engineered Steel.<\/p>\n

GreenSteel involves the use of electric arc furnaces<\/a> to recycle scrap steel. Industrial electric arc furnaces can achieve temperatures of 1,800 \u00b0C and recycling scrap steel significantly reduces the energy required compared with primary steelmaking from ore using fossil fuels. Take things a step further by powering an electric arc furnace with renewables and close to zero emissions steel can be achieved.<\/p>\n

Mr. Gupta’s plants currently recycle three million tonnes of scrap steel annually and investments are being made in electric arc furnaces in the UK, Australia and the United States.<\/p>\n

A Renewable Energy Focus<\/h2>\n

Renewables will play an important role in Liberty Steel Group overall in order to reach Mr. Gupta’s goal.<\/p>\n

An example of a current GFG Alliance related renewable energy project is Cultana Solar Farm<\/a> in South Australia. The energy generated by Cultana’s 780,000 solar panels will support the electricity requirements of GFG\u2019s Whyalla Primary Steel<\/a> plant. The Cultana project is expected to generate around 600 gigawatt hours of solar electricity each year.<\/p>\n

However, Whyalla makes steel from ore using a blast furnace. Mr. Gupta is also keen on exploring the potential of hydrogen generated from renewable power in steel production as hydrogen can be used in blast furnaces<\/a>.<\/p>\n

GFG Alliance currently has 632MW of renewable energy capacity operational under its SIMEC Energy banner and a development pipeline of 7.3GW in the UK and Australia.<\/p>\n

Mr. Gupta sees steel as the building block of modern life, but something that should be produced with as little environmental impact as possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a responsible business, the legacy we pass on to future generations is every bit as important as our bottom line,” said<\/a> Mr. Gupta. “Liberty Steel aims not just to produce top-quality steel but to be an agent of change in the industry.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Liberty Steel Group employs 30,000 people in 10 countries and states it will be the eighth largest steel producer outside China once incorporated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
