GravitHy: Pioneering Low-Carbon Iron Production for a Sustainable Future

Gravit Hy, a pioneer in the low-carbon iron market reveals its progress related to its future plant in Fos-sur-Mer. Supported by EIT Inno Energy, Engie New Ventures, FORVIA, IDEC GROUP, Plug and Primetals Technologies, the industrial startup launched in June 2022 is working on its gigafactory project in Fos-sur-Mer, which should see the light at the end of 2027. Gravit Hy’s objective is to accelerate the decarbonization of the iron and steel industry By 2028, Gravit Hy will be producing low-carbon metallic iron in the form of DRI pellets (Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) pellets). The DRI pellets produced by Gravit Hy will be marketed globally after the DRI has been processed on sion-site Hot Briquetted Iron (HBI). DRI into Hot Briquetted Iron (HBI). These low-carbon pellets and briquettes will cater to the fast-growing market for carbon-free steel, driven by steelmakers aiming to produce low-carbon steel, as well as end-users in industries such as automotive, wind power, and construction who seek to minimize their carbon footprint., for example.“By reducing the environmental impact of steel, Gravit Hy contributes to reducing the carbon impact of many sectors. the reduction of carbon impacts in many sectors,” said José Noldin, CEO of Gravit Hy. A key player in a virtuous reindustrialization Situated in the heart of the industrial port area of Fos-sur-Mer, Gravit Hy's inaugural plant will actively contribute to the revitalisation of the local ecosystem and the perpetuation of...
