Australia’s Progressive Green Solutions (PGS) has selected Thyssenkrupp Nucera as its preferred supplier of electrolysers for the production of green hydrogen at the company’s Mid-West Green Iron project.

This project – which is subject to final investment decision – would produce 7 million tonnes of green iron pellets a year and convert half to make 2.5 million tonnes of green hot briquetted iron (HBI) in Western Australia’s Mid-West region, near the city of Geraldton.

HBI is a compressed form of direct reduced iron , which will be exported as a value-added product from Western Australia.

The plant is to be powered by renewable energy, consuming green hydrogen while using local magnetite iron ore. This will help to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 90 %, compared with traditional steel production.
