The Future of Green Steel
About Ferste
Ferste is a green steel company specializing in the production of HBI (Hot Briquetted Iron) — a key raw material for zero-emission steelmaking. Our entire operation is powered without coal, gas, or any other fossil fuels.
The company was founded with a clear mission: to transform the steel industry through innovation and environmental responsibility. The name “Ferste” combines Ferro and Steel — two core materials that define both our identity and our product.
Our Vision
Our Methods
What Makes Us Different
While most steel producers rely on carbon-intensive processes, Ferste is part of the new wave of producers using zero-emissions methods powered by wind, solar, and biomass. Guided by circular economy principles, we convert industrial leftovers into valuable resources that fuel sustainable production.
We produce iron using the DRI (Direct Reduced Iron) method — entirely without fossil fuels — and are committed to implementing the next generation of green steel production technologies. This positions us at the forefront of the green steel revolution.
It’s not about the final product
it's about the process
Synergy: Green Energy Meets Green Steel
Green steel is produced without the use of fossil fuels using only renewable electricity. However, this process requires significant amounts of clean energy.
Companies developing renewable energy infrastructure, such as offshore wind farms, need large quantities of steel for components like turbine towers and foundations. Increasingly, these companies are demanding that the steel used in their projects is also produced sustainably, using green energy.
This is where a powerful synergy emerges:
- On one side, green steel producers rely on renewable electricity to manufacture zero-emission steel.
- On the other side, renewable energy developers want their infrastructure to be built from materials that align with their climate goals.
Synergy Powered by HBI
At the center of this connection is HBI – the core raw material that enables green steelmaking in electric arc furnaces. HBI acts as the bridge between green energy and green steel.
HBI from Ferste is produced using state-of-the-art, emission-free technology that complies with the highest environmental standards.Compared to traditional iron sources, our HBI ensures:
- Zero-emission production
- Consistent quality for high-performance steel
- Compatibility with green manufacturing processes
This makes it ideal for industries committed to sustainable sourcing, such as automotive and renewable energy infrastructure.
In essence, green energy powers the production of HBI; HBI enables green steel; and green steel, in turn, supports the development of green energy infrastructure. It’s a closed-loop, low-carbon ecosystem — a model of climate-aligned industrial progress.
