Project design vision

Project thesis

A direct-reduced-iron platform connecting pellet feed, process energy, shaft-furnace production, product handling and regional or export steelmaking customers.

The 3.0 Mtpa planning basis supports comparison of target countries, coastal sites, technologies, pellet quality, natural-gas and hydrogen pathways, power, water, logistics and carbon intensity. Commercial, permitting, offtake and financing work advances in parallel.

Technical & economic profile

Explore the complete project logic.

Open each workstream for the executive, technical and commercial basis used to advance the platform.

01Integrated configuration

A direct-reduced-iron platform connecting pellet feed, process energy, shaft-furnace production, product handling and regional or export steelmaking customers.

  • Pellet feed: definition of capacity, interfaces, performance requirements and delivery responsibility.
  • Direct reduction: definition of capacity, interfaces, performance requirements and delivery responsibility.
  • Product handling: definition of capacity, interfaces, performance requirements and delivery responsibility.
  • Steelmaking markets: definition of capacity, interfaces, performance requirements and delivery responsibility.
02Technical programme

Engineering is organised around the complete asset and its enabling infrastructure.

  • Resource or feedstock definition and product specifications.
  • Process route, utilities, infrastructure, logistics and technology selection.
  • Safety, environmental performance, reliability, maintainability and operating readiness.
  • Integrated schedules, cost definition, risk control and technical assurance.
03Commercial & economic programme

Commercial development connects the asset configuration with customers, partners and finance.

  • Market structure, customer segments, product mix and route-to-market.
  • Revenue drivers, operating-cost structure, capital phasing and key sensitivities.
  • Offtake, feedstock, logistics, technology and delivery counterparties.
  • Financing architecture aligned with project maturity and risk allocation.
04Execution pathway

The 3.0 Mtpa planning basis supports comparison of target countries, coastal sites, technologies, pellet quality, natural-gas and hydrogen pathways, power, water, logistics and carbon intensity. Commercial, permitting, offtake and financing work advances in parallel.

  • Host-country alignment and project-company structure.
  • Approvals, contracts, partnerships and financing workstreams.
  • Engineering definition, procurement strategy and execution planning.
  • Commissioning, workforce, systems and operational-readiness planning.
