Australia’s first proposed green steel mill set for Collie reaches planning milestone

Planning for the Collie Green Steel Mill has passed a milestone with the completion of all primary project approval submissions. The steel mill is planned to open in 2026 and will be able to produce 450,000 tonnes of steel a year. According to Green Steel of WA the project will produce up to 500 construction jobs and 200 long-term positions at the mill. It is slated to be the first green steel mill in Australia, working by minimising emissions and using renewable energy sources. Green Steel of WA said the mill would set the standard for clean steel in Australia by using Danieli clean steelmaking technology. The company said the plant was expected to be the cleanest and most efficient mill in Australia and would convert 500,000 tonnes of scrap steel into low-carbon rebar. The scrap metal would otherwise be destined to be exported for processing. The project has been boosted by a $2.7 million contribution by the Collie Industry Attraction and Development Fund.
