A burgeoning DRI market in North America has the potential to be an industry game changer, the shalegas revolution and the resultant affordable natural gas has put DRI production firmly back on the agenda.DRI offers unique opportunities for mini-mill steel makers to tap into the iron ore market and protect againstthe volatility of the steel scrap market.
DRI can open up new commercial avenues and streamline the steel making process both in terms ofefficiency and cost and finished product markets. This could be one of the most influential shifts in the steelindustry for decades and will have ramifications across the entire supply chain.
The below graphical representation outlines the continuing growth in DRI consumption worldwide, it is clearto see that DRI is growing in popularity and is being utilized by more and more steel makers each year.

The shape of the DRI production curve is even more informative when viewed in comparison to worldcrude steel production. The effects of the financial crisis in 2009 were less severely felt in the DRIproduction statistics further enhancing the view that the cost and efficiency benefits of using DRI in steelmaking are even more important during periods of financial difficulty when steel makers’ profit marginsare particularly tight.

This figure graphically represents the crude steel production share of both primary BOF facilities andsecondary mini-mill based steel makers. The majority of steel is produced by mini-mills which indicates notonly the inherent environmental and feedstock advantages of EAFs but also represents the huge potentialmarket for DRI in the US. DRI will not necessarily increase the crude steel market share for mini-mills but it doesprovide mini-mill operators with the flexibility of feedstock and the opportunity to tap into the iron ore market.

As the below graph contests EAF’s share of crude steel making has been on the rise in recent years and theforecast outlines how EAF steel making will overtake traditional BOF steelmaking routes by 2030. Globally thebalance between EAF and BOFs will become more similar to the current balance in the US (see next graph).The efficiency, feedstock flexibility and environmental advantages of EAFs make them a much moreattractive investment for future capacities, especially with new carbon emission laws and growing steelscrap reservoirs.

The shale gas revolution is the undoubted catalyst for US DRI production. The below figure outlines how DRIcapacities are likely to grow exponentially with reliably low natural gas prices, whilst natural gas prices staycompetitive DRI based steel production is likely to remain an attractive, cost effective option

The rise of EAF based steel making both in the US and globally is being driven by a combination of factors:
l Environmental – EAF based steel making generates significantly less carbonemissions than the traditional BOF route, both in actual production process andbecause they predominantly utilize and recycle ferrous scrap. As more carbonemission taxes and restrictions are being enforced by governments across theglobe, this factor will only grow in importance.
l Flexibility – The volatility of raw material prices and slackening of global steeldemand makes the flexibility of EAFs even more important. EAFs are considerablymore flexible than primary steel maker and can economically and efficientlyreduce their output and capacity according to market pressures.
l Feedstock – The traditional BF and BOF route are reliant on coking coal supplieswhich are beginning to tighten. EAFs do not have any coal requirements and aretherefore unaffected from the dwindling coking coal availability.
