We are pleased to share publicly our latest whitepaper on Merchant Pig Iron in our series on 'The Role of Ore-based Metallics on the Pathways to Carbon-Neutral Steelmaking'.
The paper introduces merchant pig iron: its production, types and trade then covers the decarbonisation of the steelmaking process and the role of ore-based metallics in general. A summary of IIMA’s SWOT analysis on pig iron in relation to decarbonisation of steel production is included, followed by information on decarbonisation in the iron casting (foundry) industry and, finally, some thoughts on the future quality of pig iron.
In addition, we have just released updated versions of our
Guides for Shipping, Handling & Storage for both
Pig iron and
DRI Fines containing critical safety information.
Our whitepapers are available on the public Resources/Decarbonisation section of our website and the Guides in Resources/Logistics & Technical Guides.
