ESL Steel to Restart 3 Million Tonne Expansion Plans Business Standard reported that Vedanta owned ESL Steel plans to double capacity from 1.5 million tonnes to 3 million tonnes at an estimate of INT 3,000 crore. ESL Steel Limited Chief Executive Officer Mr Pankaj Malhan said “We were going strong with our expansion plans. But Covid first hit China and then in our own country, which put brakes on the plan. Covid pushed us away by one year. The way everything is going, towards the end of fourth quarter should be a good time to start. The approvals are in the last stages.” In 2018, Vedanta forayed into the steel business through the acquisition of ESL Steel Limited, then Electrosteel Steels. ESL, which is into long products, has a capacity of 2.2 million tonnes. When the acquisition happened, what was commissioned was 1.2 million tonnes, which was ramped up to 1.5 million tonnes. Then last year, ESL engaged M N Dastur for the expansion plan, but it was put on the backburner because of the pandemic. In the next phase, the capacity would be increased from 3 million tonnes to six million tonnes. Source - Strategic Research Institute

South Korean Court Rejects Nippon Steel Appeal Over Asset Seizure Japanese media reported that South Korean court has rejected an appeal from Japanese steelmaker Nippon Steel Corp over seizure of the company's assets to compensate South Koreans forced to work there during wartime. The Daegu District Court's Pohang branch decided not to accept the company's immediate appeal due to the absence of grounds. The case will now move to a higher court for review. The court decided to seize Nippon Steel's assets in South Korea as the company refused to implement a Supreme Court decision in 2018 that ordered compensation over wartime forced labour at Japan Iron and Steel Co, the steelmaker's forerunner, in the 1940s. Nippon Steel had filed immediate appeals over two of the three cases over the company's assets for which asset seizure orders have been issued. It made an appeal back in August for another case that is in progress, which also was rejected by the court and was moved up to higher court. Source - Strategic Research Institute
Electrolysis Plant Starts Trial Operations in Salzgitter As part of the GrInHy2.0 research project funded by FCH, Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH installed the world's largest high-temperature electrolysis. With a nominal output of 720 kWel, the plant can produce 200 Normal Meter Cubed per Hour hydrogen. Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH will use this hydrogen for its annealing processes and displace hydrogen produced from natural gas. Later, the iron ore direct reduction plant will also be supplied, which will go into operation in the first half of 2022 as part of our SALCOS technology concept. On December 9, 2020, the plant fed high purity hydrogen into the plant's own network for the first time. The GrInHy2.0 project thus reached an important milestone in the work plan. The project itself started in January 2019. The design, engineering and plant construction of the prototype took place in close cooperation between the key partners Sunfire, Paul Wurth and Salzgitter Flachstahl under the project coordination of Salzgitter Mannesmann Research. In parallel to the construction of the electrolyser and the associated hydrogen processing plant, SZFG expanded the necessary infrastructure. Compared to the previous GrInHy project, the current system consists of an electrolyser that is five times more powerful and does not even require twice as much space. The power density of the technology could be tripled! The next goals are now operational in nature: within the next two years the system should be operated for at least 13,000 hours and demonstrate a system availability of more than 95%. During this period the electrolyser should produce at least 100 tons of green hydrogen and demonstrate an electrical efficiency without compression of over 84% lower heating value.

Rio Tinto Ore Reserve at Jadar Lithium Borates Project Rio Tinto has disclosed to the Australian Securities Exchange a maiden Ore Reserve and updated Mineral Resource at the 100% owned Jadar lithium-borates project in western Serbia. The Ore Reserve is 16.6 million tonne at 1.81% Li2O and 13.4% B2O3. The Mineral Resource comprises 55.2 million tonne of Indicated Resource at 1.68% Li2O and 17.9% B2O3 with an additional 84.1 million tonne of Inferred Resource at 1.84% Li2O and 12.6% B2O3. The update precedes the release of the project’s ‘Elaborate of Resources and Reserves’, reporting required under the Serbian Reporting Code YU53/79. Declaration of resources and reserves is an important milestone as the project progresses towards the award of an exploitation license, the precursor to a construction licence. Pre-feasibility studies have shown that the Jadar project has the potential to produce both battery grade lithium carbonate and boric acid. The deposit is located on the doorstep of the European Union, one of the fastest growing electric vehicle markets in the world, and has the potential to provide lithium products into the EV value chain for decades. Boric acid is, a key raw material for advanced glass and fertilizer products and would be integrated with and complimentary to Rio Tinto’s established position in this market. The scale and high grade nature of the Jadar mineralisation provides the potential for a long life operation in the first quartile of the industry cost curve for both products. The project under study consists of an underground mine, sustainable industrial processing and waste facilities as well as associated infrastructure. Jadar, one of the largest greenfield lithium projects in development, would be capable of producing approximately 55 thousand tonnes of battery grade lithium carbonate, as well as 160 thousand tonnes of boric acid (B2O3 units) and 255 thousand tonnes of sodium sulfate as by-products per annum. It represents a significant investment for Serbia with both direct and indirect economic benefits, and would become the country’s second largest exporter. At the end of July 2020, the project moved into feasibility study, with an investment of almost $200 million on a scope that includes detailed engineering, land acquisition, workforce and supply preparation for construction, permitting and the early infrastructure development. The feasibility study is expected to be complete at the end of 2021 and, if approved, construction could take up to 4 years. Source - Strategic Research Institute
Beursblik: Societe Generale zet ArcelorMittal op kooplijst FONDS KOERS VERSCHIL VERSCHIL % BEURS ArcelorMittal 17,388 0,00 0,00 % Euronext Amsterdam (ABM FN-Dow Jones) Société Générale heeft dinsdag het advies voor ArcelorMittal verhoogd van Houden naar Kopen en het koersdoel bijgesteld van 10,30 naar 32,50 euro. De analisten van de Franse bank wezen op enerzijds de succesvolle verlaging van de schulden en anderzijds de sterk stijgende prijzen voor staal en ijzererts. "Dat ondersteunt het winstherstel", schreven de analisten. Zij verdubbelden hun ramingen voor de EBITDA in 2021 en 2022 en zitten naar eigen zeggen inmiddels 50 procent boven de consensus. Wel waarschuwden de analisten dat een onverwachte verkrapping door de Chinese centrale bank een risico is voor de staalreus. Een chaotische Brexit en de machtsoverdracht in de VS kunnen voor tegenwind zorgen. Société Générale rekent voor 2020 op een dividend van 0,50 dollar per aandeel, wat voor 2021 zal stijgen naar 2,00 dollar. Ook voor 2022 rekent de bank op 2,00 dollar per aandeel. Het aandeel ArcelorMittal sloot maandag op 17,39 euro. Door: ABM Financial News.info@abmfn.nl Redactie: +31(0)20 26 28 999 © Copyright ABM Financial News B.V. All rights reserved.

ICRA Upgrades Indian Steel Sector Outlook on Better Demand Prices Rating agency ICRA in latest report has upgraded Indian steel sector outlook to Stable from Negative, on the back of improving demand and prices. As per an ICRA note, the momentum has strengthened further in Q3 FY2021, with the cumulative domestic steel demand in October - November 2020 already surpassing the pre-Covid levels prevailing during the same period of last fiscal. ICRA Senior Vice President & Group Head Corporate Sector Ratings Mr Jayanta Roy said “We are gradually seeing a more broad-based pick up in economic activity with every passing quarter, which makes us believe that the recovery in domestic steel demand would sustain in the near term at least. The revival in demand has been surprising, and the steel industry’s ability to claw back to the pre Covid levels of demand within 6 months of a global pandemic outbreak has been remarkable. We are consequently revising our FY2021 steel demand forecast to a contraction of around 12%, significantly better than our initial forecast of a 23% contraction made in April 2020. The sector outlook is also revised to Stable from Negative.” With respect to international trends, China’s crude steel production grew at a healthy 5.5% in 10 months of 2020 supported by strong domestic demand, which in turn was aided by rising investments in fixed assets and real estate; and strong automobile sales in the last six months. China’s healthy domestic demand also resulted in a higher de-growth of about 19% in its steel exports during 10 months of 2020 compared to a 7% fall in 2019. Consequently, in October 2020, the World Steel Association has also revised its demand growth forecast for China to 8% for 2020 as against its previous forecast of 1% made in April 2020, resulting in a lower estimated demand de growth of 2.4% for the world compared to the earlier estimate of a decline of 6.4%. Coming to domestic trends, ICRA notes that the share of top six steel producers in total crude steel production, which remained at about 55% historically, has risen to about 65% in recent months. Also, as against the average industry capacity utilisation of 78% for the period FY 2016-2020, the same for the top six steel producers has now touched a high of 85% in October 2020, while the other steel producers are still operating at capacity utilisation rates of about 65%. These trends indicate the rising dominance of large steel players in the domestic industry and an adverse impact of the pandemic on the business performance of some of the smaller steel producers, which would find it difficult to operate at pre Covid levels in the near term. In terms of export-import trends, as anticipated by ICRA, steel exports from India have dropped sharply in recent months to touch a monthly level of 0.6 million tonnes as compared to above 1 million tonnes level reported during the large part of H1 of FY2021, as domestic demand regained momentum gradually. Steel imports, on the other hand, remained low in absolute terms and could increase opportunistically driven by arbitrage between domestic and landed prices especially from free trade countries. Domestic hot-rolled coil prices have been revised upwards multiple times in recent months and are ruling at a multi year high level of INR 49,000 plus per tonne. While domestic HRC prices are currently trading at a premium to landed prices, a buoyant domestic demand and over 25% growth in Chinese HRC export prices in Q3 of FY2021 point to possibilities of further upside in domestic steel prices. However, it is to be noted that steel imports from free trade countries including Japan and Korea attract nil import duty and their prices would in turn act as a ceiling for domestic HRC prices.

CSC Hikes Steel Prices for Domestic Sales in January 2021 Taiwanese steel giant China Steel Corporation has hiked steel prices for domestic sales in the January 2021 & January-March 2021 quarter lifted by 6.1% in average, TWD 1,200-1,500 per tonne (USD 43-53). CSC said “Due to the successful development of COVID-19 vaccine, and nearing to the conclusion of US president election and the new economic relief package launched by various countries government, the global economy has been on track gradually. OECD forecasts the global economic growth rate will be 4.2% in 2021. The Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics also optimistically predicts that the economic growth rate of 2021 will reach 3.83% in Taiwan, which is benefiting from the release of infrastructure, the trend of returning Taiwanese companies and the rising export market. Moreover, the logistical disruptions caused by floods and the winter steel production restriction plans in China have made the steel supply facing a substantial contraction. However, the demand of downstream industries has recovered faster than expected, and the inventory level has fallen rapidly. The overall steel demand has shown a V-shaped recovery in the fourth quarter. The supply is far from matching the demand.” CSC added “US HR price is reaching USD 1,000 per ton and European HR price is around USD 700 per ton. Compared with Southeast Asia and Taiwan market, the current import price is around CFR USD 650 per ton only, which means that there is still some room for the price to hike in Asian market. Boasteel raised domestic hot rolled and wire rod prices by CNY 400 (USD 61) for January shipment, and other steel products were raised by CNy 500-800 (USD 77-123). It is expected that FHS may also raise price significantly to reflect soaring steelmaking cost and market price.” Monthly Prices - Average Adjusted Amounts HR +1,200-1,400 CR +1,200 ES +1,400 GI +1,400 In TWD per tonne Quarterly Prices - Average Adjusted Amounts Plate +1,500 Bar and wire rod +1,500 HR +1,500 CR +1,500 EG +1,200 GI +1,500 Automotive usage +1,200 In TWD per tonne CSC’s price hike announcement follows strong recovery in November 2020. The sales volume of carbon steel in November 2020 totaled 885,290 tonnes, with 59% of domestic sales.Accumulated sales volume of carbon steel as of November 2020 totaled 9,279,034 tonnes, with 66% ofdomestic sales.

POSCO to Expand Hydrogen Production for Decarbonization POSCO has shared a blueprint for producing five million tonnes of hydrogen by 2050 and making 30 trillion Korean won sales from the hydrogen business. Its goal is to achieve a carbon neutral society where CO2 emissions, the primary greenhouse gas, are cut to net-zero by producing hydrogen, a clean energy source, and using it in steel production. Its hydrogen business is expected to begin in earnest as it is almost certain that CEO Choi Jeong-woo will renew his contract. POSCO announced its strategy to lead decarbonization efforts by expanding hydrogen production. It will focus on developing hydrogen technologies such as electrolysis that use electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen and other methods of extracting hydrogen. It also plans to create a hydrogen-based steel production method. Using new technologies, the company aims to increase by-product hydrogen production tenfold from 7,000 to 70,000 tonnes by 2025. It also plans to produce 500,000 tonnes of blue hydrogen, which is low carbon hydrogen produced from fossil fuels, by 2030 in collaboration with global companies, and two million tons of green hydrogen from renewables, to produce a total of five million tons of hydrogen by 2050 and make 30 trillion won from hydrogen business alone. The steelmaker also wants to decarbonize steelmaking by 2050 by utilizing green hydrogen. If hydrogen-based steel production methods become commercially available, 3.7 tonnes of hydrogen will be needed annually, which will make POSCO the largest hydrogen producer and consumer in South Korea.

Canadian Steel Producers Ready to Partner on Climate Change The Canadian Steel Producers Association has welcomed the opportunities laid out in the Government of Canada’s climate plan: A Healthy Environment and a Healthy Economy. The federal strategy is well aligned with the CSPA’s own Climate Call to Action announced in March, 2020. CSPA President Ms Catherine Cobden said “Earlier this year, we outlined our plan for moving forward on climate change, including the need for a deep partnership with the federal government. In their plan released today, we can see that the federal government was listening. The federal government is sending an important signal that we are not alone in this incredibly challenging transition. As a heavy industry, we need a range of solutions and we see that many options are on the table in today’s plan.” The Canadian Steel Producers Association points out, however, that timing is urgent to advance these solutions. As time passes, the carbon price will escalate placing a significant burden and urgency on heavy industries to transform. The CSPA will continue to work with the federal government to seek ways to move ahead in a manner that allows the technology to advance and ensures the Producers’ competitiveness is preserved. The key elements of today’s plan of significant interest to the CSPA include: Create a Net-Zero Accelerator Fund to expedite decarbonization projects of large emitters Provide funding to support strategic R & D Support the greening of Canada’s electricity generation across the country Develop supply chains to locally source low emission building material Explore the potential of border carbon adjustments to ensure a level playing field with other competing jurisdictions Support for a hydrogen strategy as a future energy source for Canada.

GMS Market Commentary on Ship Breaking in Week 50 - Brakes On World's leading cash buyer of ships for recycling GMS said that last week, as steel plate prices temporarily reversed in a previously rampant Bangladesh, the decline finally put the brakes on what was a surging market. As a result, local expectations have been somewhat tempered there as the week ended. Perhaps, it has finally turned into a case of too much too soon, as prices increased by about USD 25-30 per LDT, light displacement tonnage, over the course of only a few weeks. As such, many End Buyers in Chittagong now seem to be content to wait and watch the market, rather than diving in at what may likely have been above market numbers from the previous few high-priced sales. On the other side, levels from India and Pakistan remain firm, yet, positioned just behind Bangladesh and there certainly seem to be vessels available for all markets, from HKC green to non-green units alike, as another busy year in the recycling markets reaches its crescendo. Finally, Turkey continues to be the impressive silent performer, with firming steel plate & import scrap prices that have both resulted in ship prices making a noteworthy jump this week, even though the TRY has weakened marginally. Meanwhile, on the supply side, there have been a number of VLOCs sold at increasingly impressive prices of late, taking the total number committed so far this year to 28, in what has been one of the busiest sectors for recycling. Additionally, as charter rates slip to just around OPEX levels once again, we are seeing a number of Capesize Bulkers starting to return to the market for a recycling sale, some even built in the early 2000s. Therefore, it would be unsurprising to see additional large LDT vessels sold for recycling towards the end of the year, with tankers also firmly on the list of potentials, given the falling charter rates in that sector as well.
