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.

Nation Making Significant Strides in Cluster Farming, Needs More Mechanization: Ministry

Ministry of Agriculture stated that it is making significant strides in cluster farming and needs to do more on mechanization.

During his presser, Agriculture Minister Girma Amente said the seasonal cultivations are going well in Ethiopia.

The country was able to cover 17.5 million hectares of land with seeds in the past Meher season, a little bit over the 17.4 target.

Out of the total cultivation, 8.6 million hectares of land was cultivated in cluster farming.

According to the Minister, 2.4 million hectares of land was planned to be cultivated during the Belg season and able to attain more than 2.7 hectares.

However, half of the cluster farms used mechanized farming.

Thus, he stressed the need to bolster mechanization in the sector.

The ministry planned to import 23 million fertilizer for Ethiopian year 2016/17 production seasons, he said, noting that it purchased over 13 million quintals of the fertilizer last month.

Somalia Ambassador Lauds Ethiopia’s Commitment to Combating Terrorist Al-Shabab

Somalia Ambassador to Ethiopia, Abdullahi Mohamed Warfa, has lauded the dedication and commitment of the Government of Ethiopia in eliminating Al-Shabaab.

Al-Shabaab is a terrorist group that has been trying to destabilize the Horn of Africa region, notably Somalia.

Ethiopia, in collaboration with other countries in the region, has been a key player in the fight against the group to maintain peace and security in Somalia.

In an exclusive interview with the Ethiopian News Agency, Ambassador Warfa lauded Ethiopia for its contribution in the fight against militant Al-Shabaab by paying huge sacrifices.

“The Ethiopian government has mobilized its forces to combat terrorism and stand alongside Somalia in the fight against the terrorists who have been trying to destabilize the region.”

The ambassador further explained the existing cooperation between Ethiopia and Somalia in various fields, including economic and education.

According to him, bilateral relations between Ethiopia and Somalia are witnessing remarkable development and sustainable partnership.

“The economic relations are witnessing remarkable development and a sustainable partnership between the two countries, with the skillful leadership of the two countries aiming to strengthen ties and cooperation in the political, economic and security fields, which makes the two countries more cohesive and closer.”

There are various areas of cooperation between the two countries, the most important of which is security, trade, cultural and economic cooperation, Ambassador Warfa noted.

The ambassador pointed out that the memorandums of understanding in areas of economic and security cooperation which were signed in Mogadishu last September between the two countries through the high-level ministerial committee are a clear indication of the desire to strengthen relations between Ethiopia and Somalia.

The trade balance between the countries has reached approximately 4 million US dollars last year. Ethiopian exports included dairy products and commodities such as vegetables and livestock, while Somalia exported fisheries, it was learned.

Moreover, Ethiopia is providing educational support for Somalia in addition to the economic cooperation, the ambassador said.

Stressing the need for strong solidarity among the countries in the region to fight Al-Shabaab and other terrorist groups that have been exporting terroristic activities in all neighboring regions, Ambassador Warfa urged all the pertinent actors in the region to intensify efforts to combat and eliminate the terrorist movement in the region.

“The terrorist Al-Shabaab is dangerous to national security of all countries in Africa, and East Africa in particular. We must join hands to fight this terrorist group and completely annihilate it from the Horn of Africa and East Africa,” he said, adding that “the group does not have a specific geography, but rather extends its terrorist activities in all neighboring regions of Somalia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, etc.”

According to the ambassador, the Government of Somalia has also been carrying out large-scale operations to fight the group, in collaboration with countries in the region.

“Efforts are (also) underway to weaken this group by drying up its financial sources,” he revealed.

Ambassador Warfa finally praised the role played by African governments in supporting the stability of Somalia in order to help the nation take up its place in continental and international arenas.

Ethiopia, Bahrain Vow to Enhance Trade Ties

Ethiopia and Bahrain agreed to enhance the cooperation between Addis Ababa and Manama cities in the trade and tourism sectors, according to Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Ethiopia’s Consul General in Bahrain, Ambassador Shiferaw Geneti, met with Bahrain’s Minister of Agriculture and Municipality, Wael Bin Nasser Al Mubarek, and Undersecretary for Animal Wealth Resources, Khalid Ahmed Hassan.

In their meeting, the two sides discussed the possibility of exporting Ethiopian agricultural and animal products to the Bahraini market, and of establishing cooperation between Addis Ababa and Manama.

Ethiopia is not only the birthplace of multi-flavored coffee beans but also a well-known producer of oilseeds, horticulture, spices, and other agricultural produce, Ambassador Shiferaw noted.

He also stated that Ethiopia exports various agricultural and animal products, spices, and grains to Europe and the Middle East.

While mentioning that both Bahrain and Ethiopia are members of the World Animal Health Organization, the Minister expressed willingness to host various trade activities, including a virtual workshop to promote Ethiopian products in Bahrain, which, in turn, would boost trade between the two countries.

The possibility of freighting Ethiopian agricultural products directly to Bahrain markets was also discussed due to their geographical proximity.

Considering the fact that Addis Ababa is a seat for different international and regional organizations, both sides agreed to enhance the cooperation between Addis Ababa and Manama cities in the trade and tourism sectors.
