Fortescue & China’s TISCO are testing hydrogen based plasma ironmaking as a new low carbon route to molten iron. Their pilot line, planned for up to 5,000 metric tons a year, removes sintering, pelletising, & coking, aiming for a compact process that works on Pilbara ores. Success could open a fresh pathway for green iron production. Oreaco explains this complex trial in clear language so students, citizens, & investors can follow how heavy industry changes.
