A new report from Climate Energy Finance, Arc of Ambition, has highlighted the significant opportunity for Australia to establish a domestic low-emissions steel industry and identifies Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steelmaking as a key pathway for building Australia's future steelmaking capability.

Australia hasn't built a new steel mill in 35 years. We're changing that, and our project just got bigger. Today The Australian reported on the next phase of our Collie Green Steel Mill: a new Cut and Bend facility, taking the project to $850 million, plus a partnership with Australian-owned Stride Reinforcement to supply site-ready rebar from WA to east coast construction customers. Right now, all of the reinforcing steel in Australia's hospitals, bridges and homes is either

Generation Steel is advancing the next generation of steel manufacturing in Australia. Our foundation project, the Collie Steel Mill in Western Australia, is set to become the first new steel mill developed in Australia in more than 30 years. The project represents a significant investment in domestic manufacturing capability and regional industrial development, helping create new opportunities in communities that have long powered the nation and possess the skills, infrastru

Our Collie steel mill has been granted Works Approval by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation. Working closely with our partners GHD and with great support from the WA State Government, our Works Approval application was granted in under 5 months from submission, a great achievement for a project of this size (perhaps even a record!). We’re certain that the fact that our Collie plant will be the cleanest and greenest steel mill ever built in Australia would ha

It’s official! Our Collie steel mill has been granted State Planning Approval after the WA’s Regional Development Assessment Panel gave its unanimous approval for the project. Achieving this key milestone takes us one step closer towards making our state’s first steel mill a reality and we hope, our first move towards creating a much larger green steel industry for WA. It was a mammoth effort by the team who completed all of the required design and planning studies in record

Recycling is one of the best ways to reduce CO2 emissions from steel, particularly when using an electric arc furnace (EAF). Besides using far less energy than primary steel production, almost all of the energy used in an EAF is electricity which is relatively easy to decarbonise. Steel’s unique magnetic properties make it a comparatively simple material to recover from the waste stream to be recycled. Over 25 billion tonnes of steel scrap have been recycled to make new steel
