Ferrochrome production emissions are becoming an additional factor in the competitiveness of alloy suppliers serving Europe, as the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) brings the smelting stage into the
Europe’s transition from blast-furnace steelmaking to direct reduced iron (DRI) and electric-arc furnace (EAF) production is changing the economics of metallic feedstocks, with the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)
Europe’s transition from blast furnaces to direct reduced iron (DRI) and electric-arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking is changing the competitive balance between pig iron, hot briquetted iron (HBI), DRI and scrap.
Iron ore pellets are becoming an increasingly important factor in Europe’s evolving carbon-regulated steel supply chain. Under the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), raw iron ore can enter the
Iron ore pellet producers supplying the European Union face growing pressure to measure and verify emissions from processing, as the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) covers agglomerated iron ores and
Europe is accelerating investment in domestic mining, refining and recycling, but its Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) is advancing faster than the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). While the CRMA
Europe’s next debate over the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) could extend beyond steel and aluminium to the critical minerals underpinning its electrification and industrial strategies. Copper, nickel, lithium, cobalt,
Europe’s debate over mining and critical raw materials often focuses on access to mineral deposits, but another strategic vulnerability lies further along the supply chain: energy-intensive refining and processing. While
Europe is expanding domestic mining, refining and recycling capacity for critical raw materials, while the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) remains focused on six original sectors and selected downstream products.
