La décarbonation de l’acier en passe de redéfinir les chaînes d’approvisionnement d’ici à 2050

Selon un rapport de Wood Mackenzie, de nouveaux complexes métalliques verront le jour à mesure que l’industrie sidérurgique accélérera ses efforts de réduction des émissions de carbone

LONDRES, HOUSTON et SINGAPOUR, 19 oct. 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Selon le dernier rapport Horizons de Wood Mackenzie, l’industrie sidérurgique devrait subir une transformation significative qui accompagnera l’accélération des efforts de décarbonation. Le rapport ayant pour titre Metalmorphosis : comment la décarbonation transforme l’industrie sidérurgique, met en évidence l’émergence de nouveaux complexes métalliques, la survenue d’une nouvelle forme de production de l’acier ainsi que de nouveaux modèles du commerce mondial.

Selon le dernier rapport de Wood Mackenzie, la technologie du four à arc électrique (EAF), l’utilisation accrue de matières premières écologiques et l’évolution des politiques en matière de carbone joueront un rôle crucial dans cette transformation. La production par EAF à faible intensité de carbone représente 28 % de la production mondiale d’acier et devrait atteindre 50 % d’ici à 2050. Un investissement de 130 milliards de dollars US sera nécessaire pour atteindre cet objectif.

Cette évolution vers un acier à moindre intensité de carbone entraînera une demande de matières premières plus écologiques, telles que le fer à réduction directe (DRI) et d’une ferraille de qualité supérieure. Wood Mackenzie prévoit que la proportion de ces matières premières dans la demande totale de métaux passera de 36 % à 54 % d’ici à 2050, ce qui entraînera la création de nouveaux complexes de production, de traitement et de négociation pour le fer et la ferraille à faible teneur en carbone.

L’augmentation des volumes de production de fer DRI et la croissance des échanges vont créer des opportunités tant en termes d’investissement que de revenus sur la chaîne de valeur prise dans son ensemble. Wood Mackenzie prévoit un doublement de la capacité de fer DRI d’ici 30 ans, ce qui nécessiterait un investissement estimé à 80 milliards de dollars. Cette projection ne prend pas en considération les investissements potentiels en direction de l’hydrogène vert, des fonderies de fer DRI à faible teneur, des plateformes de granulés et du transport maritime.

Wood Mackenzie indique que l’emplacement des nouveaux complexes verts de fer à réduction directe (DRI) sera déterminé en fonction de leur proximité avec la production d’hydrogène à faible teneur en carbone. Ce point se révèle particulièrement important compte tenu des incertitudes qui entourent le transport et le stockage de l’hydrogène commercialisé. Le Moyen-Orient et l’Australie sont bien positionnés pour tirer parti de cette opportunité, et le nombre de projets dans ces régions est en augmentation.

La qualité primera sur la quantité à mesure que le coût de l’acier à faible teneur en carbone augmentera. Sur les marchés où les prix du carbone sont élevés, l’importation de DRI vert pour fabriquer de l’acier à faible teneur en carbone à l’aide de fours à arc électrique deviendra plus avantageuse que l’importation d’acier fini provenant de producteurs à forte intensité d’émissions tels que la Chine et l’Inde.

La décarbonation de l’industrie sidérurgique, qui représente actuellement environ 8 % des émissions mondiales de carbone, est un objectif ambitieux mais réalisable. Grâce à des niveaux d’investissement et des politiques de soutien adéquats, cette transformation a le pouvoir de redéfinir les schémas commerciaux et la chaîne de valeur.

A descarbonização do aço redefinirá as cadeias de suprimentos até 2050

O relatório da Wood Mackenzie afirma que novos centros metálicos emergirão à medida que a indústria siderúrgica acelera os esforços de redução de carbono

LONDRES, HOUSTON e SINGAPURA, Oct. 19, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — De acordo com o último relatório Horizons da Wood Mackenzie, a indústria siderúrgica deverá passar por uma transformação significativa, à medida que os esforços para a descarbonização aceleram. Intitulado Metalmorfose: como a descarbonização está transformando a indústria do ferro e do aço, o relatório destaca o surgimento de novos centros metálicos e a reformulação da produção de aço e dos padrões de comércio globais.

O último relatório da Wood Mackenzie diz que a tecnologia do forno elétrico a arco (FEA), o aumento do uso de matérias-primas verdes e as políticas de carbono em evolução desempenharão um papel fundamental nesta transformação. A produção intensiva de FEA com baixas emissões de carbono representa 28% da produção global de aço, com previsão de aumentar para 50% até 2050. Um investimento de US$ 130 bilhões será necessário para alcançar esta meta.

A transição para a produção de aço menos intensiva em carbono irá direcionar a demanda por matérias-primas mais ecológicas, como o ferro-esponja (DRI) e a sucata de alta qualidade. A Wood Mackenzie prevê que a porção destas matérias-primas na demanda de metais totais aumentará de 36% até 54% até 2050, levando à criação de novos centros de produção, processamento e comércio de ferro e sucata com baixa emissão de carbono.

O aumento da produção e do comércio de DRI criará investimentos e oportunidades de geração de receita ao longo da cadeia de valor. A Wood Mackenzie prevê uma duplicação da capacidade de DRI dentro de 30 anos, o que requer um investimento estimado de US$ 80 bilhões. Esta projeção não inclui investimentos potenciais em hidrogênio verde, fundições para DRI de baixa qualidade, centros de pelotas e transporte.

A Wood Mackenzie indica que a localização de novos centros verdes de Ferro de Redução Direta (DRI) será determinada com base em sua proximidade à produção de hidrogênio de baixo carbono. Isso é particularmente importante, considerando as incertezas que envolvem o transporte e o armazenamento de hidrogênio comercializado. O Oriente Médio e a Austrália estão bem posicionados para se beneficiarem desta oportunidade, e o número de projetos nestas regiões está aumentando.

A qualidade prevalecerá sobre a quantidade, à medida que o custo do aço com baixo teor de carbono aumenta. Em mercados com altos preços de carbono, importar DRI verde para fabricar aço com baixo teor de carbono utilizando FEAs se tornará mais vantajoso do que importar aço acabado de produtores com altas emissões, como a China e a Índia.

Descarbonizar a indústria de ferro e aço, que atualmente é responsável por aproximadamente 8% das emissões globais de carbono, é uma meta desafiadora, mas alcançável. Com os níveis corretos de investimento e políticas de apoio, esta transformação pode redefinir os padrões de comércio e a cadeia de valor.

Expo Stars League/ Al Gharafa Regain Winning

Doha, – Al Gharafa drubbed a challenging Muaither 5-2 in an exciting Week 6 clash of the 2023-2024 season Expo Stars League at the Thani Bin Jassim Stadium of Al Gharafa club on Friday.

The win saw The Cheetahs take their tally to 13 points. Muaither remained on four points.

The winners led 1-0 at half-time and six more goals came in the second session.

Yohan Boli (45+4 minute), Dame Traore (47th minute), Farid Boulaya (68th minute) and Yacine Brahimi (88th and 90+4 minute) got the goals for Al Gharafa.

For Muaither, Jamal Mohammed scored a brace in the 61st and 90+2 minutes of the match.

The opening half was fiercely contested and Muaither even produced some close chances, but could not find the breakthrough. In the 23rd minute, their Romanian professional Denis Alibec had a shot at the goal, but his kick was cut off in time by Al Gharafas Traore.

Later, Al Gharafa goalkeeper Khalifa Ababacar showed his skills by staving off some of Muaithers threatening shots, including one from Guy Mbenza very close to the post.

Having held the rivals charge, Al Gharafa then gained ground and took the lead with a fine move made just before the half-time whistle as their captain Brahimi ran down the left and sent in a cross to Boli on the right, and the Ivory Coast player gleefully scored with a kick on the volley.

On resumption of play, Al Gharafa soon doubled their lead with their French pro Traore making a spectacular in-dipping header from the left after Brahimi produced a super corner kick.

Struggling to contain Al Gharafas repeated raids, Muaither got a good chance in the 53rd minute, but this time the kick from Mbenza went well over the crossbar.

Muaither then got their finishing act together making a fast move as Mbenza sent the ball to a breaking-through Andri Syahputra on the right and he immediately crossed it over to a rushing-in Jamal Mohammed, who struck with his left foot to score (1-2).

The racy goal livened up the game all the more and Muaither appeared more challenging. However, seven minutes later Al Gharafa struck again to dampen their hopes and the score read 3-1.

Brahimi was once again back in action and this time to score himself from the top of the box latching on to a cross from substitute Ahmed Alaaeldin (4-1).

Muaither fetched their second goal in the added time as their skipper Ramon Quinteros sent in a long aerial cross from the right for Jamal Mohammed to first take it on his chest and then to fire in a left-footer into the goal (4-2).

Al Gharafa had the last laugh as Brahimi, within minutes, scored his ninth goal of the season and his teams fifth of the match. Assisted with a through ball by Ferjani Sassi, the Algerian attacking midfielder broke in from the left to beat three defenders and the goalkeeper at the post, leaving the opposition further dismayed.

UN Secretary-General Calls for Immediate Ceasefire, Civilian Protection in Gaza

Cairo, – UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Thursday a ceasefire is needed to deliver humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip and provide protection for civilians.

Food, water, fuel and medicine are needed immediately and in a sustainable manner, Guterres said at a press conference in Cairo.

He stressed that what is required is not a small operation, but rather a sustainable effort, in which those responsible for humanitarian relief should be able to enter and distribute aid in complete safety.

The Secretary-General expressed his shock at the images of death and destruction he witnessed at the Al Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza, stressing the need to respect international humanitarian law and protect civilians, and to prohibit attacks on hospitals, schools or UN facilities in accordance with international law.

He added that his visit to the Middle East comes within the framework of a humanitarian mission at a moment of deep crisis that the region has not witnessed for decades.

Guterres said that he is following the UN efforts to provide massive support to the residents of Gaza, warning against prolonging the current crisis, and amplifying the risks of the conflict.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that the number of martyrs in Gaza and the West Bank had risen to 3,859 martyrs, since the beginning of the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people on Oct. 7.
