Announced

GravitHy Kristinestad is GravitHy's steel project at Kristinestad, Finland.

Why it matters

Nothing has been committed to it yet.

Where GravitHy Kristinestad is

GravitHy Kristinestad is at Kristinestad, Finland, and this register holds no position for it. The company has confirmed the site and no citable source places the works: it is being built where nobody has yet drawn it. The row is held anyway — position is not a condition of being on file — and what was searched, and what was found instead, is below.

NO POSITION SOUGHT BY THIS PASS. Brief 8 forbids geocoding in a census — a municipality is not a point — and position is not an admission leg. The works is named by its owner and by GEM's own plant record; a position is a later task and the row does not wait on it.

Technology and measures

  • Hydrogen direct reductionpilotThe reducing gas is hydrogen rather than natural gas, so what leaves the furnace is water rather than CO2. It is the only route that takes the chemistry of ironmaking to near zero, and it is separated from the conversion itself because every European unit under construction is being commissioned on natural gas and switched later.

Funding

No public capital recorded for this project.
