US$ 7 billion, green hydrogen, and steel with up to 95% less CO: the first green steel plant on the planet emerges in Sweden and targets Brazil as the next chapter
1+ week, 4+ day ago (710+ words) Stegra is constructing in Boden, northern Sweden, the first large-scale industrial steel plant designed to produce steel with green hydrogen instead of coal. The project has already raised about $7 billion, with production scheduled for 2026, and half of the initial production…...
Steel plates removed from old ships are transformed into thousands of iron nails at recycling hubs like those in Pakistan, through a process of cutting, melting, and molding that breathes new life into rusted structures and supplies a significant portion of the country's steel industry.
3+ week, 1+ day ago (1099+ words) In the dismantling yards, large steel plates are removed from the hulls of old vessels, covered in rust and marked by years of exposure to saltwater, and then cut into smaller pieces with tools capable of slowly penetrating the thick,…...
Thyssenkrupp invests R$ 50 million in a rare factory in Brazil to expand the production of truck suspension systems, serve brands like Scania, Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen, and transform S'o Paulo into a strategic base for automotive exports.
1+ mon, 1+ week ago (1121+ words) The Thyssenkrupp factory in S'o Paulo has become the center of an expansion plan announced in 2026 by the German group's Springs & Stabilizers division. The R$ 50 million investment will be directed to the unit located in the South Zone of the…...
Japan deployed 3, 911 meters of steel over a strait with violent currents to connect Kobe to Awaji Island with a colossal bridge " at its center, a 1, 991-meter span and towers nearly 300 meters tall defy wind, sea, and earthquakes.
1+ mon, 3+ week ago (998+ words) The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge connects Kobe, on Honshu island, to Awaji island via a 3, 911-meter suspension structure, positioned over one of Japan's most complex maritime stretches for large-scale interventions. With a 1, 991-meter central span and towers nearly 300 meters tall, the…...
Scientists use artificial intelligence to create nearly indestructible steel that does not rust and could change the way industrial energy and oil parts are produced.
2+ mon, 2+ week ago (771+ words) The use of artificial intelligence to create stronger and more resistant steel is already beginning to change the way industrial parts are produced. Researchers have managed to develop a material that combines high strength, flexibility, and rust protection, something rare…...
Almost no one imagines it, but galvanized steel was born when engineers discovered that immersing iron in zinc created a layer capable of preventing rust for decades, a technique that today protects bridges, power towers, and metal structures worldwide.
3+ mon, 2+ week ago (707+ words) For centuries, this problem limited the use of metal structures in outdoor environments. Engineers constantly had to replace corroded parts or apply protective paint layers that often did not last very long. It was in this context that a discovery…...
