In my previous post of today regarding steelmaking coal “going the way of the Dodo”, I allowed my enthusiasm to get way ahead of me. The headlines that I cited are speaking to thermal coal rather than metallurgical coal and why I allowed that mix to occur was careless and I should know better. Yes, I own this mistake and was called out on it. Rightly so, and my apologies for any further confusion.
Thank you to Dave Whitten for pointing this out.
Oh, and yes, I know I didn't use their proper names.
Algoma steel is switching to using electric arc furnaces (EAFs) to remanufacture steel from scrap, Dofasco is switching to using EAFs with carbon supplied by natural gas and eventually green hydrogen. Stelco is still thinking about the best way to reach the same goal so you weren't wrong.
