Cleveland-Cliffs' announced $200 million investment to lift grain-oriented electrical steel output by up to 25% targets the most constrained link in the US transformer supply chain; this analysis examines what GOES is, why it matters, and the open questions on location, timing and capacity.
ADNOC says its West-East Pipeline is under construction, targets 2027 start-up, and is meant to double its Fujairah export capacity — but the technical specifications, contractors and procurement details remain publicly undisclosed.
Ørsted is buying back the 49.9% stake in the 172 MW Gunfleet Sands 1 & 2 wind farm it sold to a Japanese consortium in 2025, restoring 100% ownership of one of the UK's earliest offshore wind projects—a signal that existing grid connections and shallow-water sites are becoming strategic assets in the UK's crowded offshore market.
EDF's acquisition of RWE's 33.33% stake makes it lead developer of the consented 1.1 GW Five Estuaries offshore wind farm, sharpening the focus on when — and how — the project converts its 2025 development consent into steel, cable and construction contracts.
voestalpine has completed mechanical installation of the new electric arc furnace at its Donawitz site in Austria and begun cold commissioning, moving its greentec steel transformation closer to first green production in 2027 — with the challenges of commissioning, energy supply and market conditions still ahead.
EnBW's 1 GW Dreekant offshore wind farm has moved into front-end engineering with SLPE and JBO, but the developer's own capex review leaves the timing of a final investment decision as the key open question.
UlsteinDajin has selected Ulstein's HX122 design for an offshore installation vessel, a move that pushes the Chinese foundation manufacturer into the installation segment and opens a potential long-run steel and equipment demand story.
A critical look at the prolonged shutdown of Acciaierie d'Italia's hot-area operations under extraordinary administration, the government's planned rescue-and-decarbonisation decree, and what it means for European flat-steel supply.
US Wind's decision to hand back its Sparrows Point lease ends — for now — one of the most ambitious attempts to build a US monopile and tower factory, exposing how regulatory risk, not demand, is shaping the American offshore wind supply chain.
POSCO plans to complete a HyREX hydrogen-reduction steelmaking demonstration facility in Pohang by 2028 and commercialize the technology by 2030, anchoring the Korean government's K-GX Signature Project for steel decarbonization.
Heerema has rolled up the first 1,700-tonne section of the IJmuiden Ver Beta converter platform jacket — a window into TenneT's €23 billion, 22 GW Dutch-German North Sea grid programme and the steel supply chain behind it.
EEW Special Pipe Constructions is investing tens of millions of euros to upgrade its Rostock plant for 12-metre-diameter, 3,000-tonne monopiles by 2028, positioning itself for the next generation of offshore wind foundations — and signalling where the European fabrication bottleneck is heading.
Türkiye has launched a four-lot tender for the İstanbul North Rail Crossing (INRAIL), a roughly 127 km rail link across the Bosphorus via the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge—an EBRD/AIIB-backed megaproject that could reshape freight and commuter rail in Europe's largest city.
POSCO is building a 450,000-tonne automotive galvanizing line (8CGL) at Gwangyang for about KRW 480 billion, a capex signal that the competitive frontier in auto steel is shifting from substrate metallurgy to coating quality, coating diversity and line-level AI control.
The Rabab Harweel Integrated Project (RHIP) is a ~$2 billion Petroleum Development Oman sour gas processing and enhanced oil recovery scheme built by Petrofac, completed below budget and ahead of schedule, that injects high-pressure sour gas to unlock a new era of tight reservoir development in Oman.
A Newcleo-led consortium has won nearly EUR1 million to design a barge hosting multiple 200 MWe lead-cooled fast reactors. The concept is bold, but the hard questions—about vessel steel, marine nuclear certification and industrial shipyards—are only now being asked.
Eni has awarded McDermott a substantial subsea contract for the Cronos gas field offshore Cyprus, moving the Eastern Mediterranean field closer to development while key questions on scope, schedule and steel procurement remain open.
The MIMIT-brokered agreement giving Acciaierie Valbruna a 30-year (plus 30-year option) concession at its Bolzano site secures land tenure — the precondition for investment, not the investment itself. Here's what is actually known, what it is worth, and why the steel industry should watch the next disclosure, not this one.
MARAD and Core Power have signed a non-exclusive memorandum to build the regulatory, industrial and financing framework for US-flagged nuclear merchant ships — a framework agreement, not a ship order, whose significance lies in who it convenes and what barriers it targets.
Hyundai Steel's $5.8 billion HPLS mill in Donaldsonville, Louisiana, part of a broader $26 billion Hyundai Motor Group US investment, represents a significant greenfield steelmaking bet that could reshape automotive steel supply, construction demand, and the Gulf Coast industrial landscape.
The Korea Iron & Steel Association, Korea Expressway Corporation and the national ready-mixed asphalt cooperative federation have agreed to introduce steel-slag-based eco-friendly asphalt, opening a potential new domestic outlet for a blast-furnace and steelmaking by-product that Korean mills have long struggled to place.
ADNOC and partners approved a $6.2 billion FID for the Umm Shaif Gas Cap development, including $5.1 billion in EPC awards and a $365 million ADNOC Drilling program, targeting first gas by 2030.
