With the UK Steel Strategy hot off the press, now is the perfect time to dive into one of the key questions shaping the future of the industry:

What should the UK do about primary (ore-based) iron supply?

This webinar explores the United Kingdom's requirements and options for domestic primary iron production from iron ore, to supplement electric arc steel recycling.

What to expect:

* Demand: Current UK demand for steel products

* Production: Insights into future demand for steel products

* Supply: Primary iron capability, relevant investments in other countries, and the primary iron supply chain

* Key recommendations on viable technologies for primary steel production

Commissioned by the Secretary of State for Business and Trade and the Minister for Industry, and supported by the UK Steel Council, this review plays a vital role in shaping the UK’s steelmaking future.


Join the discussion and be part of the conversation about strengthening UK steelmaking capability.
