The innovative transformation program, updated in 2020, will see the current operations at the iconic Whyalla Steelworks evolve into a world leading ‘GREENSTEEL’ facility.
New facilities will help shape Whyalla into an environmentally friendly and globally competitive facility.
The updated Whyalla Transformation Plan includes a Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) facility, and a new Electric Arc Furnace in addition to the heavy-section combination Rolling Mill previously announced to serve Australia’s rail, mining and infrastructure projects with domestic GREENSTEEL.
The new DRI plant will be fed by Natural Gas, in time transitioning to green hydrogen produced from GFG’s own renewable energy projects including Cultana – one of Australia’s largest solar farms being built in Whyalla.
Combined, these new facilities will produce advanced steel long products for the Australian construction, critical infrastructure and mining industries for generations to come. It will also position Whyalla to become a world-leading, carbon-neutral steel producer.
