Blastr CEO Dag Moxnes said: “Ensuring the long-term supply of raw materials at required quantity and quality is crucial for providing green steel to the market with an absolute minimum of CO₂ emissions through the entire value chain.

“Cargill offers a unique combination of access to regional raw materials, expertise, network and logistics solutions, which brings us a long step closer to realising our joint Nordic green steel project.”

In the next phase, the two firms will focus on the final technology selection, location and the final product mix, as well as green power access.

Cargill and Blastr will also join forces on speed to market, sustainable supply chains, technology risks and limitations, and securing capital to fund the project development.
