Abstract
"Iran has abundant reserves of iron ore and is the 10th biggest producer of iron ore in the world. With its world-wide second biggest natural gas resources, it has an excellent basis for an efficient iron and steel industry. Besides the currently operating capacity, which is mostly based on the direct reduction/electric arc furnace route, Iran’s iron and steel master plan, defines a target for steel production of 55 million tons in 2025. Therefore, beneficiation, pelletizing and direct reduction capacity need expanding accordingly. The gap between the current and desired state of steel production will lead to the installation of new capacity along the necessary power plants, transmission lines, gas pipelines, ports, roads, railways, water supply and mining. With the increase in steel capacity, iron ore needs to be extracted and reduction of iron ore reserves requires new exploration or supply shortages through imports."
