Redefining sustainability in American steelmaking

Using Tenova HYL’s low-emission technology, North American Iron will produce high-purity pig iron with up to 96% fewer carbon emissions than imported alternatives.

Creating Decades of Opportunity

North American Iron will convert reclaimed ore from Minnesota, into high-purity pig iron in Minot, North Dakota. With stranded natural gas available in Minot and direct rail connections to Minnesota’s ore deposits, the region is well positioned for efficient pig iron production.

Across North Dakota and Minnesota, the project will generate hundreds of high-quality, long-term jobs and help build what the nation needs most: a domestic, secure supply chain built by Americans, for Americans.

Jobs For North Dakota

North American Iron will employ approximately 650 skilled workers in production, power generation, rail operations, maintenance, logistics, and safety.

Jobs For Minnesota

North American Iron’s sister company, Calumet Reclamation Company, will add around 150 positions focused on reclaiming and processing legacy iron ore resources.
