Blastr Green Steel Enters Environmental Permitting Phase

According to Blastr, with the reasoned conclusion in hand, the project will move to the permitting stage.

“The reasoned conclusion provides a solid foundation for environmental permitting and supports the municipality of Inkoo in finalizing its ongoing zoning plans,” the company said.

Blastr is proposing to build a steelmaking facility that pairs hydrogen reduction with EAF steelmaking in Inkoo.

“This has been a significant undertaking, involving thorough and long-term preparation. I want to thank all parties involved in the process for their excellent cooperation. Over two years of work have gone into these assessments with a large team of experts, while simultaneously advancing the project through detailed technical planning,” said Antti  Kaikkonen, Blastr Green Steel’s country manager in Finland.
