    15 Dec, 2022, 5:46 am

    Japanese steel giant Nippon Steel has obtained FSSC22000 certification for its food container steel sheets for the first time in Japan. Kyushu Works of Nippon Steel has become Japan’s first steel manufacturing organization to receive FSSC22000, an international food safety standard certification, for its tinplate, TFS & can light etc, which are used for beverage and food cans.

    In recent years, with the increasing global concern about food safety, there has been a growing demand for strict hygiene management throughout the food industry chain, including packaging and containers. FSSC22000 is an international standard approved by the non-profit organization GFSI as a food safety certification scheme, which requires establishing a food safety management system for the purpose of providing safe food to consumers.

    Recognizing that these trends are accelerating worldwide and the need for objective evaluation is increasing, Nippon Steel has been working to improve manufacturing and product management levels as a part of the food chain and has successfully acquired the above certification. Nippon Steel aims to obtain this certification as soon as possible for our other manufacturing sites for container steel sheets going forward.

    Trade Body UK Steel Pleads for Energy Price Help

    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    15 Dec, 2022, 5:47 am

    The Mirror reported that Trade body UK Steel has called on British Government to extend support to the sector after electricity costs soared above GBP 1,500 per MWh this week, more than 30 times the historical average forcing some steelmaker to temporarily halted production. UK Steel’s Director-General Mr Gareth Stace said “Massive electricity price spikes this week have all but broken the Energy Bill Relief Scheme, which aims to shield industry from sustained, unsustainable price levels. Electricity prices are at 30 times their historical average this week, forcing some steel companies to cease production at key times during the day. This is simply not sustainable for the steel sector.”

    Mr Stace added “The steel sector is looking to the Government to announce that it will continue to cap electricity and gas prices for vulnerable sectors, such as steelmakers, when it publishes its review of the EBRS, expected before the end of the year. “

    He said that “The German government is planning a scheme for all of 2023, where it will guarantee wholesale electricity prices at EUR 130 per MWh, well below the UK’s cap of GBP 211 per MWh. The UK Government should match this to ensure our industry’s ability to compete.”

    He added “Without the continuation of the EBRS, our estimates show electricity prices being double those of German industry’s next year, leading to reduced production, shrinking market share and increased imports. Prolonged and frequent halts to production could become the norm, negatively impacting productivity, and leading to a decline in steel production in the UK.”

    He urged “The Government must extend the support scheme, otherwise the UK steel sector will be wholly exposed to ravages of volatile energy markets with predictably grim consequences.”

    EUROFER Warns EU Leaders for Upcoming Decisions

    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    15 Dec, 2022, 5:48 am

    In the coming days, EU leaders will make fundamental decisions for Europe's industrial future. European Steel Association EUROFER has warned that the future of European industry is at stake, threatened by an unresolved energy crisis, impacted by unilateral decarbonization costs and undermined by trading partners’ new regulatory frameworks to massively subsidize local investment with more predictable measures. Against the backdrop of the EU energy crisis and the US Inflation Reduction Act, the EU must urgently develop and implement an industrial policy mainstreaming industrial competitiveness in all policy fields and take decisive action to enable the green transition as well as to enhance the resilience of industry. This is a unique opportunity for the EU to remain a frontrunner in climate policy.”

    EUROFER Director General Mr Axel Eggert said “A strong industrial base should be a strategic priority for the EU. The US Inflation Reduction Act is a wake-up call. EU leaders urgently need to reconcile the European Green Deal with industrial competitiveness and resilience, starting with a transition-friendly ETS and a watertight CBAM, as well as enabling the ramp-up of green hydrogen.”

    Mr Eggert stressed “We urgently need a debate at EU level to assess the impact of the IRA on European industry, and formulate an adequate response to provide the necessary level playing field for companies to invest and continue creating value for our societies. All options should be considered, such as financial incentives and funding via joint borrowing, a new EU sovereignty fund, ambitious Carbon Contracts for Difference CCfDs at EU level, further relaxation of state aid to speed up access to resources, as well as additional legislation to spur green markets.”

    Mr Eggert concluded “The US has focused greatly on investment in clean technologies, from electric vehicles to wind mills, which have one thing in common: they are all part of the steel value chain. Green steel is at the centre of the new US industrial policy. We should do the same in the EU.”

    European Parliament reaches provisional agreement on CBAM
    370 Views

    The European Council and Parliament have reached a provisional agreement on the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).

    The agreement is only the first step for the implementation of the new system aimed at preventing or limiting imports of carbon-intensive products into Europe, as domestic producers continue their path to reduce carbon emissions.

    The provisional agreement stipulates that steel and iron products will be included in CBAM, Kallanish notes.

    It has been decided the system will be launched from October 2023, initially with reporting obligations only. The full implementation of CBAM will then occur in line with the phasing out of allocations of free ETS allowances, though a timeline for this is still being negotiated.

    Finally, the provisional agreement explains that further work still needs to be done to address issues related to exports.

    European steelmakers support the will of the European Commission to implement a system aimed at controlling carbon-leakage from imports, but have warned that an acceleration of the phasing-out of free ETS allocations could hurt the industry significantly.

    Bluestone Coke Plant in North Birmingham Fined USD 925,000

    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    16 Dec, 2022, 5:44 am

    Jefferson County Department of Health in Alabama has levied USD 925,000 fine against Bluestone Coke that has released hazardous emissions and pollutants on the surrounding majority-Black communities of Fairmont, Collegeville and Harriman Park in North Birmingham for years. Joined by the Southern Environmental Law Center and the Greater-Birmingham Alliance to Stop Pollution, Bluestone Coke agreed per the consent decree filed to pay a USD 925,000 penalty and submit to new monitoring requirements for potential reopening.

    Half of the funds received in the fine will go to the creation of green spaces, clearing blight from the area, and environmental projects for the benefit of the communities adjacent to Bluestone’s plant

    If the plant were to reopen, the county health department mandates that two monitors be installed on the fence line for five years in order to monitor levels of sulfur dioxide, a toxic gas harmful to the human repertory system. The plant is required to hire an outside auditor to monitor compliance and develop a Corrective Action Plan, among other measures, according to the consent agreement.

    Bluestone Coke owned by the family of West Virginia Governor Mr Jim Justice has been producing Foundry Coke for 100 years. The Bluestone Coke facility produces foundry coke using coal from the Bluestone owned coal mines located in West Virginia, Virginia and Kentucky. The Bluestone plant has remained cold-idle since October of 2021, meaning all production has ceased and the heat has been removed from the coke ovens, allowing for cancer-causing chemical fumes and other toxins to leak from the facility into the surrounding area.

    Steel Dynamics Lowers Earnings Guidance for Oct-Dec’22 Quarter

    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    16 Dec, 2022, 6:14 am

    Fort Wayne Indiana headquartered US’s leading steelmaker Steel Dynamics in latest guidance has lowered October-December 2022 quarter earnings to USD 3.34-3.38 per diluted share as compared to USD 5.03 in July-September quarter, Steel Dynamics said “Fourth quarter 2022 profitability from the company's steel operations is expected to be significantly lower than sequential third quarter results, based on seasonally lower shipments and metal spread compression, particularly within the flat roll operations. Metal spread compression was amplified by higher raw material costs, as the flat roll operations work through higher than current market priced pig iron inventories ordered in early 2022 in reaction to the Ukraine and Russia supply chain disruptions. The company believes flat roll steel prices have bottomed and expects them to increase into 2023 as underlying steel demand and corresponding order activity remains intact from the automotive, non-residential construction, industrial, and energy sectors with some weakness in the residential sector.”

    SDI also said “As ferrous and nonferrous scrap prices have stabilized, fourth quarter 2022 earnings from the company's metals recycling operations are expected to moderately improve compared to sequential third quarter results, based on increased volume more than offsetting lower average price realization.”

    SDI added “Fourth quarter 2022 earnings from the company's steel fabrication operations are expected to be strong and remain steady with third quarter results, expanding metal spreads more than offsetting slightly lower seasonal volumes. The non-residential construction sector remains steady as evidenced by customer order activity supporting a continuing historically strong order backlog, which the company anticipates will continue through 2023.”

    Steel Dynamics is one of the largest domestic steel producers and metals recyclers in the United States, based on estimated annual steelmaking and metals recycling capability, with facilities located throughout the United States, and in Mexico. Steel Dynamics produces steel products, including hot roll, cold roll, and coated sheet steel, structural steel beams and shapes, rail, engineered special-bar-quality steel, cold finished steel, merchant bar products, specialty steel sections and steel joists and deck. In addition, the company produces liquid pig iron and processes and sells ferrous and nonferrous scrap.

    As a result of the determinations by the Department of Commerce and the US International Trade Commission that revocation of the antidumping duty order on hot-rolled flat-rolled carbon-quality steel products from the Russia would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury to an industry in the United States, US DOC is publishing a notice of continuation of this AD order applicable from 9 December 2022. As a result, US Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect AD cash deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry’ for all imports of subject merchandise.

    On 19 July 1999, US DOC published the Suspension Agreement on hot-rolled steel from Russia. On 24 December 2014, US DOC terminated the Suspension Agreement and issued the Order on 1 September 2021. US DOC initiated and the ITC instituted the second five-year (sunset) review of the order. As a result of its review, US DOC determined that revocation of the Order on hot-rolled steel from Russia would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, and notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins of dumping likely to prevail should the orders be revoked. On 2 December 2022, the ITC published its determination, that revocation of the Order would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time

    For the purposes of this Order, “hot-rolled steel” means certain hot-rolled flat-rolled carbon-quality steel products of a rectangular shape, of a width of 0.5 inch or greater, neither clad, plated, nor coated with metal and whether or not painted, varnished, or coated with plastics or other non-metallic substances, in coils (whether or not in successively superimposed layers) regardless of thickness, and in straight lengths, of a thickness less than 4.75 mm and of a width measuring at least 10 times the thickness. Universal mill plate (i.e., flat-rolled products rolled on four faces or in a closed box pass, of a width exceeding 150 mm but not exceeding 1250 mm and of a thickness of not less than 4 mm, not in coils and without patterns in relief) of a thickness not less than 4.0 mm is not included within the scope of this Order. Specifically subject to the scope of this Order are vacuum degassed, fully stabilized (commonly referred to as interstitial-free (IF)) steels, high strength low alloy (HSLA) steels, and the substrate for motor lamination steels

    The covered merchandise is classified in the HTSUS at subheadings: 7208.10.15.00,7208.10.30.00, 7208.10.60.00, 7208.25.30.00, 7208.25.60.00, 7208.26.00.30, 7208.26.00.60, 7208.27.00.30, 7208.27.00.60, 7208.36.00.30, 7208.36.00.60, 7208.37.00.30, 7208.37.00.60, 7208.38.00.15,7208.38.00.30, 7208.38.00.90, 7208.39.00.15, 7208.39.00.30, 7208.39.00.90,7208.40.60.30, 7208.40.60.60, 7208.53.00.00,7208.54.00.00, 7208.90.00.00, 7210.70.30.00,

    Thyssenkrupp Materials Services new online marketplace SteelBuy has been launched in the UK with the aim of revolutionizing traditional trading in industrial metals. The end-to-end platform primarily targets excess inventory and stands out by anonymizing buyers and sellers, reducing the effort required to close deals, managing payments and logistics, and offering sellers 24/7 access to a global market. As a result, the platform addresses aspects that have previously presented barriers to trade.

    SteelBuy CEO Mr Terry Sargeant said “The need for sellers to keep their competitors in the dark about excess inventory, as well as the effort required to find buyers, are the root causes of problems in the market. These are exacerbated by traditional metal trading methods. The result is that it is difficult for buyers to find these inventories as well as for sellers to identify the appropriate buyers. SteelBuy solves this problem and brings the parties together.”

    The advanced technology behind SteelBuy provides seamless and efficient trading of metals by enabling mills, service centers, dealers and end users to buy as well as sell anonymously online anytime, from anywhere. The algorithms connect buyers and sellers quickly and directly. In addition, dashboards provide real-time sales and purchase data, enabling dynamic pricing by sellers.

    SteelBuy was originally developed to support steel service centers and stockholders in the sale of low-turnover stock. The platform has since evolved into an online marketplace that manages the entire transaction process from specification to credit check and payment to logistics in one step, anonymously, securely and in a matter of minutes.

    Nucor Lowers Earning Guidance for Oct-Dec’22 Quarter

    Charlotte North Carolina headquartered US’s leading steelmaker Nucor Corporation expects October-December 2022 quarter earnings to be in the range of USD 4.25-4.35 per diluted share as compared to net earnings of USD 6.50 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2022 and USD 7.97 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2021. Full year earnings for 2022 remains on track to exceed the record of USD 23.16 per diluted share Nucor set in 2021.

    Nucor said “In the steel mills segment, we expect considerably lower earnings in the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2022 due to lower average selling prices, margin compression and lower volumes, with the largest decrease in profitability expected at our sheet mills. Shipments for our bar mills are expected to be lower due to seasonal factors with customers reducing inventories as year-end approaches.”

    Nucor also said “The steel products segment is expected to have strong earnings in the fourth quarter of 2022, but we expect the segment's earnings to decline moderately from the third quarter of 2022 on lower volumes and selling prices. While we believe these trends are mainly seasonal effects, economic uncertainty and recession concerns could impact future demand.”

    It added “The raw materials segment is expected to have significantly decreased earnings in the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2022 due to decreased profitability of our DRI facilities, both of which experienced planned outages during the fourth quarter, and decreased selling prices for raw materials.”

    Nucor and its affiliates are manufacturers of steel and steel products, with operating facilities in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Products produced include: carbon and alloy steel in bars, beams, sheet and plate; hollow structural section tubing; electrical conduit; steel racking; steel piling; steel joists and joist girders; steel deck; fabricated concrete reinforcing steel; cold finished steel; precision castings; steel fasteners; metal building systems; insulated metal panels; overhead doors; steel grating; and wire and wire mesh. Nucor, through The David J.

Each facility will utilize highly efficient straight-line production and will increase Nucor Towers & Structures' capabilities to provide engineered solutions for utility infrastructure and construction projects. The locations for these two new facilities will be determined in the next few months.

    Earlier this year, Nucor formed the Nucor Towers & Structures business unit when it acquired Summit Utility Structures, a producer of metal poles and steel structures for utility infrastructure in eastern Pennsylvania. While that location primarily serves customers in the northeastern part of the country, Nucor will establish a nationwide footprint with these two new facilities.

    The growing demand for utility infrastructure in US is being driven by grid hardening and replacements, renewable energy projects, and population growth. Additional demand for utility infrastructure will result from the Inflation Reduction Act, recently passed by Congress, which provides more than USD 300 billion for clean energy and climate programs.
