Rana Gruber is an iron ore producer in the north of Norway. The company extracts the mineral from local mines and transports it by rail to the company’s processing plant. After the iron ore is refined through a mechanical process, it is shipped to European steel producers.
Environmental footprint is a major challenge for the steel industry. It is estimated that the industry is responsible for up to seven per cent of global carbon emissions.
Rana Gruber’s answer to the challenge has led to an ambitious goal: to become the world’s first carbon free iron ore producer by the end of 2025. This will contribute to decarbonise the value chain for the steel industry. This means electrification of the company’s entire operations: drilling, transport, processing – everything needs to run on renewable energy.
The company has a robust plan in place to reach this goal. If Rana Gruber becomes the world’s first carbon free iron ore producer, it will pave the way for an entire industry.
