Description

The project will assess opportunities to utilise recycled feedstock, including non-ferrous feedstock such as waste polymers (rubber and plastic), and floc and ferrous feedstock in the form scrap metal, as alternative inputs in Australian iron/steel production. It will explore how this substitution could reduce carbon emissions while simultaneously diverting waste from landfill, offering a pathway to lower reliance on fossil-based inputs and accounting for avoided greenhouse gas emissions. The non-ferrous recycled feedstocks are rich in carbon and hydrogen, two critical elements in iron/steel production. Carbon acts as a reducing agent for iron oxide, while hydrogen serves as a clean reductant, generating water rather than CO₂. In addition, low grade ferrous feedstock can serve as a valuable source of iron in steelmaking process.
