GPSC and Meranti Steel Forge a Strategic Cooperation on Renewable Solutions for New Green Steel Plant in Thailand.

Singapore-headquartered Meranti Steel plans to develop a DRI-EAF steelworks for flat products in Thailand. The plant is intended to supply green hot rolled coil to domestic manufacturers and for export, founder and CEO Sebastian Langendorf tells Kallanish in an exclusive interview.

Singapore based Meranti Steel is developing a green steel business under its Meranti Green Steel brand. Meranti Steel is working on a modern, integrated DRI and EAF plant with continuous casting and hot strip mill in Thailand. Production will be for the Thailand’s flat steel market, and Meranti Steel is also eyeing targeted export opportunities for its future certified green steel products. The capacity of the plant is projected to be up to 2mt per annum of green HRC.

The green steelmaking transition is an unstoppable trend that is about to embrace significant demand growth over the coming decades, said speakers at the Kallanish Asia Steel Markets 2023 conference in Ho Chi Minh City last week. Dr Sebastian Langendorf, chief executive and founder of Singapore-based Meranti Steel, expects significant demand for green steel due to considerations of increasing political pressure, carbon self-commitments, supply chain requirements and awareness of end customers.

Tokyo — JFE Steel Corporation, Me­ranti Steel, JFE Shoji Trade Corpora­tion, Marubeni-Itochu Steel, and Hanwa Co, announced today their agreement to form a joint venture to produce and sell hot-dip galvanized and colored flat steel products for the building and construction sector in Myanmar.

Japanese investor interest in Myanmar is likely to remain robust as the Bank of Japan continues to hold short-term interest rates at minus 0.1 percent.

Japan’s JFE Steel will join with Singapore-based Meranti Steel in building a galvanising and colour coating joint venture in Myanmar’s Thilawa Special Economic Zone, the companies tell Kallanish. While the galvanising line is planned to begin operation in 2020, the colour coating line could enter into operation slightly sooner.

In a statement sent to Platts on Sunday it said it intends to spend US$85 million on the project.
