Australian iron ore miners explore green ironmaking technology fit for lower-grade ores

The global steel industry's shift to decarbonization has generated growing demand for higher-grade iron ore, posing more challenges for Australian miners who mainly produce low-to-medium grade iron ore. To catch up with the green transition, these miners are now pursuing innovative green ironmaking technologies that can accommodate their less favorable ore qualities, Mysteel Global notes.

Last week, Australian mining giant Fortescue Metals Group (FMG) signed a technology development agreement with Taiyuan Iron and Steel (Group) Co., Ltd. (TISCO), a subsidiary of the world's largest steel producer China Baowu, to explore new decarbonization pathways for steel production, according to FMG's news release.
