Austrian steelmaker voestalpine received the main core components weighing a combined 790 tonnes for its new 180-tonne EAF Ultimate electric arc furnace at its Linz steelworks. Delivered via water transport from Germany, Italy, and Turkey, the EAF shell and 160-tonne transformers will form the centerpiece of voestalpine's greentec steel program. Upon startup in the first half of 2027, the EAF will produce 1.6 million tonnes of lower-carbon steel annually, reducing Austria's overall national carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 5%.
