(Finance) – Danieli & C. Mechanical Officineworld leader in the production of systems for the processing of iron and steel, and Newcleo SA, an innovative company in the field of nuclear energy, have signed a Memorandum in agreement For the integration of fast leading lead reactors (Lead Fast Reactor, LFR) of Newcleo with Danieli’s steel production technology. The agreement will allow you to take a further step forward in the combination of green steel production with nuclear energy.
Thanks to the distinctive capacity of the fast leading reactors to lead (LFR) to provide a combination of electricity and heat at high temperature, the two companies will focus on the development of potential integrated solutions in which Newcleo’s innovative LFFR will provide both the electricity and the heat necessary to feed some processes of the Danieli technologies used for the production of green steel.
The initiative, explains a note, is in line with Danieli’s vision of providing high quality green steel and will potentially contribute to the production of steel in Europe and beyond, providing producers, through Nuclear Technologies of Newcleo, electricity and heat in large quantities, at affordable prices and without CO2 emissions. The agreement aims to create energy supply solutions along the entire chain of the value of iron and steel, including applications related to Danieli Digital Melter and also to the production of green hydrogen to feed Danieli Energron Directation technology used for the production of metal iron.
Stefano Buono, founder and CEO of Newcleohe said: “Danieli is at the forefront of the departure of the steel industry towards the decarbonisation and the achievement of the net zero objectives, goals that are increasingly intertwined with the competitiveness and costs of energy. With this collaboration we want to provide the producers of steel economically sustainable solutions for the production of green steel. Combining our technologies, we will aim to generate great opportunities for the industry for the industry for the industry for the industry Global steyerurgical, not only by responding to the direct needs of steel producers, but also pushing global supply chains towards a new era of competitiveness and sustainability. “
Alessandro Brussi, president of the Board of Directors of Danielihe said: “Newcleo is an innovative actor in the nuclear energy sector, which aims to produce advanced modular reactors and close the fuel cycle as Danieli is doing in the steel sector to have zero -impact systems and processes. A solution to obtain low -cost energy and without fossil fuels is one of the key factors to take a step forward in the Decarbonization of the Siderurgical Industry”.
