Nordic Iron Ore aims to create sustainable mining in the fight for a greener future. The motto "It starts in the mine" characterizes the company's progressive strategy. With pioneering technologies and innovative practices, they are contributing to the future of green steel.
Sustainable development is at the core of Nordic Iron Ore's vision, where they concretely apply the principles of economic, social and environmental sustainability. In economic sustainability, the company focuses on using modern and efficient mining methods to minimize energy consumption and thus contribute to responsible resource management. A state-of-the-art mine that is not only technologically advanced, but also powered by electricity and other fossil-free solutions as much as possible.
The iron ore concentrate will be of the highest quality, with an average iron content of around 69%. This makes the concentrate ideal for the green steel industry, where quality and environmental friendliness are top priorities.
Social sustainability is not just a goal, but an active effort to create a positive impact on society. Nordic Iron Ore wants to ensure that its mining operations not only generate employment but also contribute to long-term stable and dynamic community development, particularly in the Ludvika area. They are working with the development company Samarkand 2015, the Smart Exploration Research Center and local educational institutions to ensure local and relevant training for a modern mining industry.
"We strive to green the entire journey from mine to finished product to lead the industry towards true sustainability. At Nordic Iron Ore, we are not only working to reduce carbon emissions, but to create a sustainable and transparent production process. Every step must be green for a truly sustainable future in our industry." - Ronne Hamerslag, CEO Nordic Iron Ore.
Focusing on energy efficiency and minimizing environmental impact is at the core of Nordic Iron Ore's mining strategy. By setting ambitious targets and implementing modern methods, Nordic Iron Ore wants to reduce its carbon footprint and help change the way the mining industry views sustainability. The mine's geographical location also plays an important role with proximity to necessary infrastructure and short transportation distances to European steel mills leading the transition to green steel. This not only streamlines production but also minimizes environmental impact by reducing transport distances.
Nordic Iron Ore is committed to making its mining operations more environmentally friendly and responsible towards the local environment. Their product, the ultra-highly enriched iron ore concentrate, will help make the steel industry truly green. The steel industry accounts for around 8% of global carbon dioxide emissions, so by helping to reduce these emissions, Nordic Iron Ore is helping to combat climate change. This is one of the most important challenges of our time!
"The mine and transportation to the steel mill must be fossil-free to produce fossil-free steel, which is the essence of the phrase It starts at the mine." - Ronne Hamerslag, CEO Nordic Iron Ore.
