High Energy Prices Pushing German Economy into Recession

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
14 Sep, 2022, 6:44 am

Kiel Institute for The World Economy has warned that the German economy is in a downward spiral. It said “The recent jumps in electricity and gas prices will noticeably reduce the purchasing power of private households and lead to a fall in private consumer spending. In addition, the global economic outlook, which has been gloomy since the summer, will noticeably dampen not only exports but also investment activity. As a result the German economy will slide back into recession in a phase in which it was just recovering from the setbacks caused by the pandemic. In our summer forecast, we still assumed that, despite the burdens caused by the war in Ukraine, the buoyant forces would prevail and that gross domestic product would rise sharply.”

Kiel Institute said “For the current year we now only expect an increase in gross domestic product of 1.4% down from summer forecast of 2.1%. In the coming year, it should even drop by 0.7% down from summer forecast of 3.3%. In 2024, when the negative factors lose their impact, gross domestic product is likely to increase by 1.7%. If electricity and gas prices remain high for an extended period of time - as currently indicated inflation is expected to rise to 8.7% in 2023 from a record 8% in the current year as market prices for electricity and gas will only reach consumer prices with some delay. Inflation is not likely to calm down significantly until 2024, when energy prices fall again.”

Kiel Institute added “The recession will also leave its mark on the labor market. Due to the shortage of skilled workers, however, they are likely to be comparatively low. The unemployment rate will rise from 5.3% this year to 5.6% next year. Despite significant additional spending to cushion the impact of high energy prices, the government's financial balance is unlikely to deteriorate much, since the high price increases will generate additional income. The gross debt ratio in relation to nominal gross domestic product is even likely to fall from 68.7% in 2021 to 64.6%in 2024, as nominal gross domestic product will rise sharply due to the overall high inflation.”

Rio Tinto & Baowu to JV to Develop Iron Ore Mine in Western Range

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
14 Sep, 2022, 6:43 am

Rio Tinto with 54% stake & China Baowu Steel with 46% stake have agreed to enter into a joint venture with respect to the Western Range iron ore project in the Pilbara in Western Australia by investing AUD 2 billion to develop the mine. Western Range’s annual production capacity of 25 million tonnes of iron ore will help sustain production of the Pilbara Blend from Rio Tinto’s existing Paraburdoo mining hub. The project includes construction of a primary crusher and an 18 kilometre conveyor system linking it to the existing Paraburdoo processing plant.

Construction is expected to begin in early 2023 with first production anticipated in 2025. The construction phase will support approximately 1,600 jobs with the mine requiring about 800 ongoing operational roles which are expected to be filled by existing workers transitioning from other sites in the Paraburdoo mining hub.

Rio Tinto and Baowu have also agreed to enter into an iron ore sales agreement at market prices covering a total of up to 126.5 million tonnes of iron ore over approximately 13 years. This volume represents Baowu’s 46 per cent interest in the anticipated 275 million tonnes of production from Western Range through the Joint Venture.

Rio Tinto and Baowu’s partnership in the Pilbara dates back to the 2002 Bao-HI Joint Venture to develop the Eastern Range deposits in the Hamersley Ranges (Eastern Range) and Western Range, subject to a production cap of 200 million tonnes. It is now expected the production cap will be sourced entirely from Eastern Range, and this Transaction will continue Rio Tinto’s relationship with Baowu through development of Western Range.

Rio Tinto has worked closely with the Traditional Owners on whose country Western Range is situated, the Yinhawangka People, to co-design a Social and Cultural Heritage Management Plan for the project, designed to protect signiticant cultural and heritage values in the area. The plan, which was agreed with Yinhawangka Aboriginal Corporation and announced earlier this year, outlines protocols for joint decision-making on environmental matters and mine planning.

Entry into the Transaction with Baowu is subject to satisfaction of various conditions precedent, including approvals from Rio Tinto shareholders, the Australian Government, Chinese Government regulatory agencies and the Western Australian Government, among others.

Rio Tinto’s Paraburdoo hub is comprised of three operating mines, Paraburdoo, Channar and Eastern Range.

Western Range contains two deposits, 36W–50W and 55W–66W, which are located within the Hamersley Basin of Western Australia. The deposits’ mineralisation is primarily hosted by the Brockman Iron Formation with additional detrital mineralisation present.

The 36W–50W and 55W-66W deposits contain a Measured Mineral Resource of 22 Mt at 59.1% Fe, Indicated Mineral Resource of 102 Mt at 61.5% Fe, and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 108 Mt at 61.4% Fe.

The 36W–50W deposit contains a Proven Ore Reserve of 109 Mt at 62.1% Fe and a Probable Ore Reserve of 56 Mt at 61.7% Fe2.

Mineral Resources are reported in addition to Ore Reserves. Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves are quoted on a 100 per cent basis.

14 Sep, 2022, 6:48 am

Austrian steel producer Voestalpine placed an order with Primetals Technologies recently for adapting and expanding the existing electrical, drive, and automation systems as part of the rebuild of hot-dip galvanizing line No 4 at Voestalpine’s’ steel plant in Linz in Austria. After this investment, the plant will be able to produce steel grades with higher strengths, improved elongation values, and a wider range of dimensions for the automotive industry. Voestalpine has also tasked Primetals Technologies with the modernization of the electrical and automation systems at hot-dip galvanizing line No 3. This project will drastically improve drives, CPUs, the fieldbus system, and safety equipment. In addition, integration into the process control system PCS7 will be improved.

By rebuilding and expanding hot-dip galvanizing line No 4, voestalpine will be able to support the automotive industry in manufacturing even safer cars. The CO2 footprint of automobiles can, at the same time, be reduced by producing lighter car bodies while maintaining the same formability. Primetals Technologies will adapt and expand the existing electrical, drive, and automation systems to meet the new requirements. As part of the contract, Primetals Technologies will also assemble provided components such as power transformers and inductors.

The availability of spare parts is running out for aging drive controls and the automation technology of hot-dip galvanizing line No 3 at Voestalpine’s site in Linz. Therefore, Primetals Technologies was contracted to modernize more than 300 drive feeds, equip the automation units with new CPUs, and install a new fieldbus system. Additionally, the plant’s safety system will be brought up to the latest standards.

A part of the process control system, PCS7, the software library "PTLib", developed by Primetals Technologies, will be used for both plants. PTLib contains numerous function blocks for treatment plants and is continuously maintained, upgraded, and versioned to match the PCS7 versions.

The entire modernization and conversion work on the two hot-dip galvanizing lines is carried out during planned shutdown periods. The time frame is only a few days in length. These "pit stops" require meticulous preparations and perfect coordination of all staff involved. As far as possible, technical problems must be identified and avoided in advance.

GCC export competitiveness relies on transportation makeover: conference
176 Views

To ensure competitiveness of Gulf Cooperation Council iron and steel producers in the global market, the region needs a major overhaul and expansion of its transportation network, Amsteel chief executive Onur Yigiter told delegates at the Saudi International Iron & Steel Conference 2022 in Riyadh, for which Kallanish is programme partner.

GCC producers undoubtedly enjoy comparatively low energy supply rates, making their production costs highly competitive. However, the industry still has "a long way to go" in terms of available transportation infrastructure, which plays a vital part in the supply chain, Yigiter said on Tuesday.

"We need a modern, upgraded transportation infrastructure, which will reduce transportation costs, in order to realise the potential," Yigiter says. GCC producers are well on their way in pursuing the task, having already reduced the time of discharging cargoes at ports, which has increased competitiveness.

But they are still behind leading low-cost producers, who have production facilities closely situated to their primary raw material resources and ports, and have transportation infrastructure in place, such as in Brazil, the CIS and some Chinese mills.

"If the plant is situated in Riyadh, it will be less competitive compared to those producers. We need more professional transportation companies and producers, from trucks, to infrastructure networks, and to ports," Yigiter concluded.

He adds that the Saudi 2030 Vision programme is aiding the task, estimating it will take around ten years from now for GCC producers to become the lowest-cost producers globally.

AISI Urges Congress to Act on Resolving Rail Negotiations

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
15 Sep, 2022, 6:18 am

American Iron & Steel Institute President & CEO Mr Kevin Dempsey has sent a letter to congressional leadership urging Congress to act if a voluntary agreement in the ongoing rail negotiations fails to reach a resolution. On behalf of the American steel producers that AISI represents, Mr Dempsey’s letter expressed concerns about the state of ongoing labor negotiations in the freight rail industry and the potential for significant disruption in the critical national rail system, which would have serious negative consequences for the entire US economy, including the steel industry.

Mr Kevin Dempsey wrote “Our nation’s railroads not only serve as the arteries for American commerce, they are an indispensable necessity for the health and survival of our domestic steel industry. American steel producers rely heavily on railroads for transporting raw materials to their mills and for shipping finished steel products to the market. A functional freight railroad system is critical to ensuring that the American steel industry can effectively and efficiently serve its customers.”

Mr Dempsey added “At a time when our nation’s supply chains for critical materials like steel have not yet fully recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic, it would be a tremendous setback for supply chains to suffer another blow. A voluntary agreement among all parties to the ongoing rail negotiations is clearly the best outcome. But if negotiators fail to reach an agreement by the end of the cooling off period, we urge Congress to act to ensure that our nation’s freight rail system remains operational.”

According to media reports, US railroad workers are preparing for strike as negotiations between management and unions are at an impasse. Heated negotiations over a new union contract between railroad corporations and 150,000-member-strong labor unions have been ongoing for nearly three years. A cooling off period imposed by the Biden administration after it issued recommendations to settle the dispute ends on Friday. If no deal is reached, unions are threatening industrial action, the first since 1992, and workers say they will quit an industry already facing staff shortages. The consequences of a strike would be severe. Rail moves close to 40% of the US’s long-distance trade and a strike could cost the US economy USD 2 billion a day, disrupting travel, commutes and the shipment of commodities and other goods across the country.

Brazilian logistics player Prumo Logistica has plans to build one or more hot briquetted iron plants in the adjacent area of Agu port in the state of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. The HBI plant will be adjacent to the iron ore terminal of Anglo American and not far from the pellet plants of Vale, located in the neighbor state of Espirito Santo. The project has the reduction of C02 emissions as background, with focus on the domestic market. The production of HBI using iron ore pellets will allow the integrated steel producers for a reduction by 60-70% of their C02 emissions, considering the whole process, when replacing sintered iron ore by HBI in their blast furnaces.

The HBI plant will count on green hydrogen, to be produced by the port authority, with the start-up scheduled for 2025. Fortescue Future Industries and Porto do Açu Operações have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to assess the opportunity to develop hydrogen-based green industrial projects in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Signed in late February, the MOU will allow for FFI and Port of Açu to conduct development studies into the feasibility of installing a green hydrogen plant at Port of Açu. Subject to the outcome of the studies, the project envisages construction of a 300 megawatt capacity green hydrogen plant at Port of Açu, with potential to produce 250,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year.

The story of Prumo began to take shape in 2013, when the American fund EIG acquired a majority stake in the largest private port-industrial complex in Brazil, Porto do Açu. United Arab Emirates sovereign fund Mubadala Investment Company is also a shareholder.

The concept of NaturRein fruit spreads is based entirely on the idea of sustainability for the product itself and in the packaging. The twist-off closure produced by Pano Verschluss is PVC-free on the one hand and made of CO2 reduced tinplate from thyssenkrupp Rasselstein on the other.

ThyssenKrupp’s bluemint Steel is used in the production of this tinplate. The use of Rasselstein tinplate made of bluemint Steel can save up to 69% CO2

The product itself has a natural recipe that uses only three classic ingredients, without the addition of artificial flavors or preservatives. At the same time, NaturRein is the first climate-neutral certified Zentis product line.

German cold rolled steel specialist Waelzholz has discussed in podcast Steel to Zero – How Steel Goes Green how the steel industry is preparing for decarbonization and what the prerequisites are. Waelzholz Group Managing Director Mr Matthias Gierse said “Waelzholz is a family business with almost 200 years of history. It is important to us to be involved in the necessary transformation of the steel industry and to help make it a success. We would like to create transparency and awareness of the requirements of our industry.”

Dr Matthew Gierse added “Taking social and corporate responsibility has been part of Waelzholz’s self-image for a good 200 years. We are clearly committed to our climate policy responsibility under the Paris Agreement and will do everything we can to make our products climate-neutral.”

He also said “The first concrete steps have already been taken to reduce the carbon footprint of steel products, including at Waelzholz. The company relies on the increased use of renewable energies and continuous optimization of energy efficiency in the processes. 40% of the total electricity requirement at the German locations is already covered by renewable energies. But these are ultimately only intermediate steps on the way to the actual goal of climate neutrality. In addition to using renewable electricity, we have to switch our process gases from natural gas to hydrogen. Green hydrogen will be a key energy carrier of tomorrow.

Dr Matthew Gierse said “The steel industry is ready. Waelzholz is ready. But all this is of no use to us if green hydrogen is not available at all and the infrastructure for its transport to us in South Westphalia is missing. The decision-makers in politics and administration must now create the framework conditions so that we can also take the path to green steel.”

Waelzholz produces more than 780,000 tonnes of cold-rolled steel strips and profiles at its locations in Europe, North and South America and Asia every year. As a cold-roller, Waelzholz is in the steel value-added network between the crude steel manufacturers and the producers of end applications, and processes hot strip into tailor-made customer materials with special properties. Steel materials from Waelzholz can be found, among other things, in stator and rotor components for electric motors or in bipolar plates for fuel cells, which in turn are used in sustainable products such as electric vehicles, hydrogen-based drives or wind turbines.

Mr Paolo was involved in the steel industry for some 30 years, having graduated with a BSc in Civil Engineering at the University of the Witwatersrand in 1990. Following this, Mr Paolo completed his master’s degree in 1993, where he was introduced to the workings of the SAISC through the Steel Design Code Committee. After spending some additional time as a lecturer at Wits, Mr Paolo joined the SAISC in 1998 as a Consulting Development Engineer and Technology Director.

To gain some commercial experience, he then joined Macsteel Trading as an Engineering Manager in 2003 to start its cellular beam division, and ultimately became Group Business Development and Technical Director at Macsteel Corporate Services. Throughout his 11 years at Macsteel, Mr Paolo never lost touch with the SAISC and in 2013, he returned to the Institute as its CEO.
