- 1,413 1,219 1,329 1,351 World total
Volumes are from 2007 to 2010
Onesteel production in 2010 was 6 million tonnes.
We have been advised by APG that if Onesteel required a similar plant in Woollongong that it would need to be twice the size of the Newcastle plant!
The Newcastle plant is estimated to make a profit of ~$6M from its steel processing only.
I am sure there are many other steel mills around the world that will use the technology that are NOT on the list above.
The we have the ilmenite process and other technologies.
It appears that the opportunities out there are quite broad.
Thought I might present these figures to give some people an idea of the APG potential.
This thought came as a result of the posting regarding Nucor Steel in the U S of A>
