According to a press release from Tenova, the project will integrate Ternium’s downstream operations into its Pesquería facility in Mexico. The new plant is part of a series of investments Ternium has been making, totaling US$2.2 billion.
 
Tenova will supply a direct reduction plant with integrated material handling system, including stockyard/train unloading equipment; an electric arc furnace (EAF) equipped with Consteel^® and electromagnetic stirrer Consteerrer^®, two ladle furnaces, and a fume treatment plant. The plant will have a total annual production capacity of 2.6 million tons of high-quality steel.
 
The direct reduction plant is based on ENERGIRON^® Direct Reduction technology. Additionally, the DR plant will be equipped with carbon capture technology and will be hydrogen-ready.
 
“We are delighted to be part of Ternium’s largest investment plan to date and to accelerate its path towards decarbonization,” said Roberto Pancaldi, Tenova’s chief executive officer. “We share with the company the same ambition to create and blaze new trails for green steelmaking. This project offers the ideal environment for a proficient collaboration in which to combine some of our most sustainable technologies within the most modern facility on the continent.”
