Pig iron whitepaper and guide updates now available

MPI whitepaper published and Pig Iron and DRI Fines Guides updated

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 logistics and technical ‘Guides for Shipping, Handling & Storage’ for both pig iron and DRI fines containing critical safety information.

Our whitepapers and logistics and technical guides are available to download on our resources page.
