"Green" recovery of the metallurgical sector of Ukraine

On June 22, Metinvest joined the government's platform on the "green" recovery of the metallurgical sector of Ukraine. The partnership memorandum was signed at the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC), which was held in London. Together with the General Director of Metinvest Yury Ryzhenkov, the First Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of Economy of Ukraine Yuliya Svyridenko, representatives of the companies Primetals (Austria), Fortescue - FMG (Australia), Rothschild & Co (France) and potential consumers of the products signed the memorandum on the platform.

 "Green" recovery of the metallurgical sector of Ukraine

The coalition brings together equipment manufacturers, consumers, financial institutions, government and other stakeholders. The main goal of the association is to restore the Ukrainian industry through an ecological, "green" transformation of steel production, which will make it possible to support the national economy and population, while at the same time becoming a driver for supporting the EU decarbonization program.

"Green" steel is a key element of the Group's long-term strategy. Part of it is the transition to the use of DR-class pellets at Metinvest's metallurgical plants in Ukraine. This is our "green transit". We are ready for this transition, ready to finance it to a large extent after Ukraine's victory in the war. We will also be happy to become partners in this direction," Yuriy Ryzhenkov commented on Metinvest joining the platform.

As part of the implementation of the "green" transition strategy, the Group plans to work in two main directions:

  • to improve the quality of iron ore products to DR class with a gradual increase in its production capacity;
  • to re-equip the Zaporizhstal and Kametstali shops for a more environmentally friendly electric steel smelting method of steel production from DRI-class pellets (with the prospect of switching to hydrogen, in particular produced with the help of renewable energy), as well as to expand the line of rolling products.

According to the estimates of the participants of the round table, the cost of the medium-term strategy of the "green" transition until 2035 is about 35 billion US dollars. Such investments will ensure the production of up to 15 million tons of "green" steel per year.
