Vale and GravitHy sign MoU to develop a plant dedicated to direct reduction iron ore briquettes production
Vale and the French DRI producer GravitHy have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to pursue solutions focused on a carbon-neutral steelmaking process by using Vale’s innovative iron ore briquettes technology. Within the scope of the MoU, Vale and GravitHy will jointly evaluate the construction of a plant co-located in GravitHy’s site in Fos-sur-Mer (France) to produce direct reduction briquettes from Vale’s high-quality iron ore feedstock.
GravitHy’s first Direct Reduction Iron (DRI) plant is expected to start-up production in 2027 in Fos-sur-Mer. The plant is designed to produce DRI using hydrogen as reductant fuel, reducing substantially carbon emissions in the steelmaking chain when compared to pig iron production through the integrated BF-BOF route. The DRI plant to be built by GravitHy is expected to have 2 Mtpy production capacity and investments of € 2 billion. The company is advancing its engineering and permitting studies, and construction is expected to start in 2024.
Rogério Nogueira, director of Product and Business Development at Vale, said: “Vale is committed in providing low carbon emission solutions for the global steel industry. GravitHy is a good example of a changing steel market where new players take on the challenge to utilize hydrogen to produce low carbon DRI to supply an expected growing EAF production capacity. We are happy to work with a frontrunner in H2-based DRI production as we believe in the outstanding features of our iron ore briquettes for DRI production”.
Commenting about the MoU, Jose Noldin, CEO of GravitHy said: “Decarbonization of steel production is a major challenge and requires innovative solutions, not only in technology but also in product and new business models. We are very pleased to start this collaboration with Vale to assess their unique and state-of-the-art briquetting technology that can be a game changer in low carbon solutions offered by the mining sector”.
This MoU reinforces Vale’s confidence on direct reduction route and hydrogen usage to enable steelmaking decarbonization. Vale is committed to reduce 15% of net Scope 3 emissions by 2035. Since 2021, Vale engaged with more than 30 ironmaking clients representing approximately 50% of the company’s Scope 3 emissions. Additionally, Vale seeks to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 33% by 2030 and achieve net zero by 2050, in line with the Paris Agreement, leading the way to sustainable mining.
In May 3rd, Vale informed that it has successfully tested a new type of iron ore briquette, adapted for the direct reduction route, which will contribute to the decarbonization of steel production. The new type of briquette emits about 80% less CO2 compared to pellets in its manufacture, abating the company's direct and indirect emissions (scopes 1 and 2).
About GravitHy
GravitHy was launched in 2022 by a world-class consortium comprised by EIT InnoEnergy, the innovation engine for sustainable energy supported by the European Institute of Innovation & Technology, a body of the European Union (EU), Engie, Plug, Forvia, Groupe IDEC and Primetals Technologies.
GravitHy is a sustainable iron company, with its first plant to be located in Fos-sur-Mer, Southern France. As the steel industry decarbonizes, GravitHy will address the growing demand for green iron, by producing and using low-carbon hydrogen to produce DRI. The DRI will be used directly or traded globally under the form of Hot-Briquetted Iron (HBI) to be used as a feedstock in low CO2 steel production.
