9 What are the major value drivers in steel production? Cost Structure of Hot-rolled Coils in European Steelworks (2014) People and Intelligent Production Products and Processes Energy and Environment 20% 5% 8% 25% 32% 10% Raw Material Flexibility Source: CRU 2014, World Steel Conference, P. Butterworth Page A. Flick / CTO upstream, Primetals Technologies Austria GmbH

10 Raw material flexibility Some solutions that impact the future of metals production CPT (Circular Pelletizing Technology) Corex Finex Advantage Economy of scale starts at t/a pellet production A compact solution to produce high-quality pellets A new business model for mining companies and steel plants Jet Process Efficient and environmentally friendly hot metal production by using inexpensive raw materials Power Cooling Advantage Up to 40 K/s cooling rate Quick adoption to different charge mixes such as hot metal, HBI and scrap for best economics Flexible hot-strip cooling process allows substitution of alloying elements to attain the same mechanical properties Page A. Flick / CTO upstream, Primetals Technologies Austria GmbH

11 Alternative iron production Finex / Corex / Blast furnace - Process comparison Non-coking coal Finex route Fine ore Non-coking coal Corex route Lump ore Pellets Blast furnace route Fine ore Coking coal Export gas Power plant GasFerm Export gas Power plant DR plant GasFerm Sinter plant Coking plant Hot metal slag Oxygen Hot metal slag Oxygen Hot blast Hot metal slag Page A. Flick / CTO upstream, Primetals Technologies Austria GmbH
