<p>Russian steel maker Mechel Group's metal trading company Mechel Service has supplied 4,900 tonnes of steel for the construction of an electrometallurgical complex in Vyksa in Nizhny Novgorod Region of Russia. Valves produced by the Chelyabinsk Iron and Steel Works were used in the construction of a full-cycle electrometallurgical complex using modern environmentally friendly technologies, which is being built by Ecolant. This is a pilot project of green metallurgy in Russia, which uses technologies that are advanced not only for Russia, but also for Europe.</p><p>The future complex will produce steel using the direct reduction method using iron ore pellets and natural gas. The technology used will make it possible to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by a factor of three compared to the classical BOF steelmaking technology.</p>
