Whyalla moves closer to emissions-free production as Liberty Steel signs electric furnace contract

The $485 million deal with international equipment company Danieli for the construction of a new electric arc furnace will replace the old coke oven and blast furnace.

Sanjeev Gupta, executive chairman of GFG Alliance, which owns Liberty Steel, said the electric arc furnace would pave the way for green steel and green iron that could be exported around the world.

"This will put Whyalla firmly on the map, not only decarbonising Australia's steel industry but also feeding the world with green iron, decarbonising steel supply chains all over the world," he said.
