The total DRI production in 2011 rose to 73.3 million tons

setting yet another new record for the industry. Growth

slowed in some areas of the world, but in other regions

increased production more than counteracted the declining

locales. Although last year’s production rose 3 million tons

from 2010’s total production, it marks nearly a 9 million ton

increase from 2009’s 64.4 million tons.

Four nations experienced significant growth. These

included the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with an increase of

1.1 million tons, Venezuela, which made 0.7 million tons more

than the previous year, Mexico, which increased by 0.5 million

tons and Russia, which saw an increase of 0.4 million tons.

In the UAE, the growth was primarily due to the startup

of a new plant at Emirates Steel combined with the ramp-

ing up toward full production by another plant at the same

steel works. Venezuela’s growth is reflective of a partial re-

covery from a prolonged decline in production due to political

and governmental factors that the DR industry experienced

over the past five years. In Mexico, the growth was primarily

attributed to general economic recovery from the financial

crisis as both Mexico and its major market, the United States

continued their recoveries. Russia’s growth came from a

general increase in the capacity of the six existing plants as

they outperformed their prior best by over 8%.

As stated previously, some countries did see a decline

in production. Nations where there was significant decline

included India, which produced 1.45 million tons less in 2011

than in 2010, and Libya, which fell by 0.8 million tons.

India’s drop in production was a result of several econom-

ic forces. First, there was a slowing of the general economic

growth that has been developing for years. Although growth

has continued, it was not rising at as rapid a pace as previ-

ously anticipated. Also, some plants were not able to obtain

as much iron ore as they needed due to governmental restric-

tions on mining. In addition, governmental allocations were

placed on natural gas that gave higher priority to electric

power generation and to ammonia (fertilizer) production than

to the manufacture of iron and steel. India has become the

leading producer in DRI over the past decade due to the large

number of small rotary kilns; however, need for better quality

DRI is driving shaft furnace alternatives. With smaller amounts

of natural gas anticipated for industry use, coal-based tech-

nology options are currently being pursued by a few India

steelmakers.

Libya’s decline was a result of the national revolution

which affected all aspects of the country. The DRI facilities

at LISCO shuttered their plants early in the year and had not

restarted by the end of the year. At the time of this writing

(April 2012) it was reported that those plants have resumed

operation.

Altogether 2011 was up by 4% (2.87 million tons) over 2010’s

data. This was the ninth year out of the past ten that a new

world production record was established. While gas based

reduction grew by 7% from 52.3 million tons in 2010 to 55.9

million tons in 2011, coal based reduction by the rotary kiln

processes shrank by 5% from 18.1 million tons to 17.3 million

tons. The latter is related to the slowdown in India where the

great majority of rotary kiln plants are located.

As in every year since 2003, India was the leading producer

with 22.0 million tons, down from 23.4 million tons in 2010 but

still two times as much as the next highest country producer

Iran. Iran produced approximately 10.4 million tons. Mexico was

third top producer with production of 5.9 million tons, well above

2010, but still well below their all time peak of 6.5 million tons in

2004. Saudi Arabia and Russia were fourth and fifth respectively.

These five nations produced more than two-thirds of the world’s

supply of DRI.

FoRcesAFFectIngtheInDustRYThe slow growth of the developed economies continued to be

a drag on growth elsewhere in the iron and steel industry. As a

positive effect though, the price of iron ore declined in the latter

months of the year from the remarkable heights it had reached.

For instance, pricing for Carajas fines, fob Brazil fell from 274

cents per dmtu to 219 cents per dmtu. Even so, after the price

decline, pricing was still more than eight times what it had been

prior to 2004. The very high prices for iron ore continued to con-

strict margins for iron and steel making.

• Under Construction Nine modules are under construction. All are located in North Africa and Middle East region (Egypt, Pakistan, Bahrain, Iran and India). Their combined capacity is 11.44 million tons per year. Two of these new plants being built in India are utilizing coal (MXCOL® and COREX®/MIDREX®) to produce DRI in a MIDREX® Shaft Furnace.

2011 WORLD DIRECT REDUCTION STATISTICS is compiled by Midrex

Technologies, Inc., Charlotte, North Carolina, USA. The publication is distributed

annually with the first quarter issue of Direct From Midrex, and upon request

to other persons interested in direct reduction.

Midrex Technologies, Inc. compiles world DRI production data on an annual

basis as a service to industry.

Direct reduced iron (DRI) is a high quality metallic product produced from

iron ore that is used as a feedstock in electric arc furnaces, blast furnaces and

other iron and steelmaking applications. Hot briquetted iron (HBI) is a com-

pacted form of DRI designed for ease of shipping, handling, and storage.

Midrex Technologies, Inc. is an international process engineering and technol-

ogy company that provides global process technology solutions to various in-

dustries and is principally known for the MIDREX® Direct Reduction Process

that converts iron ore into a high-purity DRI or HBI for use in steelmaking, iron-

making, and foundry applications. Midrex continues to develop new technolo-

gies relating to its traditional iron and steel roots including eco-friendly tech-

nologies such as FASTMET®/FASTMELT® steel waste recycling processes and

ITmk3®, a breakthrough process for producing a pig iron substitute material.

The following organizations supplied or assisted in collecting data for this issue

of 2011 WORLD DIRECT REDUCTION STATISTICS:

WSD has audited Midrex’s collection and preparation process of the “2011 World Direct Reduction Statistics”, i.e. “The Booklet”. It is our observation that at the present, Midrex receives inputs from all over the world from virtually every known direct reduction producer. We have reviewed the data collection and preparation procedures and can confirm the documentation substantiates the accuracy of the data to be published in The Booklet. Based on the above, we are confident that The Booklet accurately reflects the world direct reduction industry in 2011.
