About TT Iron Steel
TT Iron Steel Company Ltd. is a private company established under the laws of Trinidad and Tobago to acquire the Point Lisas Iron and Steel Mill from ArcelorMittal Point Lisas Ltd. (In Liquidation).
The Point Lisas Iron and Steel Mill utilizes green, low carbon emission technologies for steel production which we believe are critical to decarbonize the global steel industry. Greater than 70% of steel globally is made using coal-based blast furnaces which emit roughly two tonnes of carbon dioxide per tonne of steel produced. The Point Lisas Iron and Steel Mill is based on electric arc furnaces and direct reduction using natural gas, a green process with less than half of the emissions from a coal based steelmaking facility. While this process is used in less than 10% of steel mills globally we believe it is the future of steelmaking.
The facility at Point Lisas can be further decarbonized by substituting natural gas with green hydrogen and we are working closely with partners in Trinidad to develop a local green hydrogen supply chain. After it has been restarted, the facility will also be the largest recycling operation in the Caribbean consuming scrap and waste tyres generated in Trinidad and Tobago to make steel products.
TT Iron Steel Company will operate in compliance with the highest international standards for employee safety, environmental protection, and responsible governance. We look forward to working closely with all stakeholders to restart the facility while making a positive impact on the environment, population, and economy of Trinidad.
TT Iron Steel Company is lead by a team of Trinidadian and international individuals with extensive experience in the iron and steel industry and the restart of formerly distressed assets.
