- How are steelmaking margins for blast furnaces performing compared with those for electric arc furnaces in Asia?
- Has there been a noticeable trend to increase scrap use at blast furnaces in Asia over the recent year?
- With decarbonisation goals becoming more important in nations such as Japan and South Korea, is there any risk that scrap consumption could begin to cannibalize iron ore demand in the Asian region?
- How will the looming rise of blast furnaces in Southeast Asia affect scrap?
- Which key markets are expected to see growth in scrap consumption over the next decade? Are these in line with iron ore growth increases too, or is there variation between expected consumption of these two alternative feedstocks?
