【SMM Steel】UK-based company Binding Solutions has reached an agreement with Mitsui Iron Ore Development to produce low-carbon iron ore pellets in Western Australia's Pilbara region. The company's technology significantly reduces energy consumption and CO2 emissions compared to conventional pellet production processes. The partnership will utilize a low-energy cold agglomeration process to transform lower-grade iron ore fines into higher-value pellets. These pellets are suitable for electric arc furnace steelmaking, supporting steelmakers' decarbonization efforts. Binding Solutions has previously conducted industrial trials with producers such as British Steel and aims to build an industrial-scale production plant.
