Background
Singapore-based Meranti Steel in May 2023 announced their plans to establish a green steel plant near Map Ta Phut Port in Thailand. The proposed plant is expected to have a 2000 ttpa crude steel capacity and start mid-2027.[1][2] The project includes natural gas based DRI plant that can transition to green hydrogen when available, that feeds EAF of 2000 ttpa.[2] In June 2023, Meranti partnered with Global Power Synergy Public Company Limited (GPSC) for the development of clear energy for green steel manufacturing at the plant.[3]
Low-emissions/green steelmaking
This steel plant is associated with a green steel project tracked in the Green Steel Tracker. Details about the project are included below.
