Danieli Inks Contract for Hydrogen-Powered Rebar Mill
10/21/2024 - Danieli is partnering with an Australian entity called Greensteel Australia to build a rebar rolling mill powered by renewably produced hydrogen.
According to Danieli, the 600,000-metric-ton rolling mill will feature a reheating furnace powered by 100% green hydrogen and will produce rebar in diameters from 10 mm to 50 mm and spooled coils from 8 mm to 32 mm primarily for the Australian construction market.
“At Greensteel Australia, we’re proud to partner with Danieli on this groundbreaking project. By using 100% green hydrogen, we’re not just building a new rolling mill, we’re setting a new example for clean steel production. This project shows our commitment to making steel in a way that’s better for the environment and for future generations,” said Greensteel Australia president Mena Ibrahim.
Danieli said the advanced facility will integrate Danieli’s sixth-generation horizontal billet welding technology, allowing endless rolling and continuous material flow to 14 housingless rolling stands.
“Equipped with a quick-change system, this design maximizes production efficiency and minimizes downtime during size changes. The mill’s six-pass fast finishing block will further enhance performance, rolling smaller sizes at speeds of up to 40 meters per second and feeding both the bar and spooler lines,” Danieli said.
The plant is to start by late 2026.
