Building a Sustainable Future for American Steel
North American Iron is restoring America’s ability to produce its own high-purity pig iron - the essential foundation of modern steel.
Key Facts
- North American Iron will be the first and only merchant pig iron producer in the U.S.
- Using hydrogen-based Tenova HYL technology, North American Iron will cut carbon emissions by up to 96% compared to traditional methods.
- This model reduces foreign dependence, transportation emissions, and geopolitical risk.
- Strengthens U.S. national security by ensuring a reliable domestic supply of pig iron—critical for defense, infrastructure, and energy systems.
North American Iron will convert reclaimed ore from Minnesota into high-purity pig iron in North Dakota, addressing the critical pig iron supply gap caused by geopolitical disruptions.
This will supply U.S. steelmakers with a fully domestic, long-term source of critical feedstock to power American steel production for generations.
