The Green Steel Challenge podcast aims to invite a conversation, ignite innovation and accelerate change within and around the steel industry, contributing significantly to the decarbonisation of this crucial material.
Drawing inspiration from Willy Korf, the German entrepreneur known as a steel rebel and pioneer of the mini-mill and DRI, this podcast challenges the steel industry. Produced by The Willy Korf Foundation and Kallanish Commodities, both neutral entities deeply connected to the steel industry yet without direct commercial interests, we aim to be a platform for transformative ideas.

Much of the Green Steel Challenge is about reducing the amount of CO2-emitting coal used in the blast furnace to reduce iron ore. However, carbon itself is an essential component of steel, and this is an issue in EAFs where coke also usually has to be added to obtain the required quality of steel.
In this episode, we chat with John Mellowes, Cofounder of BioCarbon, an Australian start-up that takes waste biomass resources such as woodchip and sawmill waste and coverts it to a range of biocarbon products that can be used in heavy industries such as steelmaking using an innovative pyrolysis technology.
Tune in to hear how their vision is reshaping the future of steel production.
