Green Metals
The Green Metals Group works with metals industries, supply chains and innovators to develop technologies, materials, processes, and knowledge to decarbonise, de-fossilise and reduce the environmental impact of metals production, and to optimise recycling opportunities. The Group accelerates the emergence of sustainable ‘Green’ metals industries.
Capabilities
The Green Steel Centre’s electric steelmaking pilot plant provides practical scalable research and a proving ground for technologies and processes developed through our laboratories. This ranges from AI scrap characterisation and novel feedstock evaluations, to steelmaking innovations in low carbon, low nitrogen Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steels, and synergy with cement materials from slags.
Complementing this is expertise and equipment to research iron ore reduction including hydrogen DRI, natural gas DRI, blast furnace.
Scrap characterisation, blending and bulk metal recycling innovation is a cross-cutting theme across the ferrous and non-ferrous sectors, utilising practical engineering knowhow as well as human-assisted artificial intelligence (AI).
Non- ferrous green metal production and recycling is further supported by expertise in the critical raw materials and energy and process decarbonisation groups.
