Ngokweengxelo zeendaba zamanye amazwe, abenzi bentsimbi baseMelika iNucor, iCleveland Cliffs kunye nomzi-mveliso wentsimbi iNorth Star weBlueScope Steel Group eMelika baza kutyala imali engaphezulu kwe-1 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi ekucutshungulweni kwezinto ezilahliweyo ngo-2021 ukuze bahlangabezane neemfuno ezikhulayo zemarike yasekhaya eMelika.
Kubikwa ukuba imveliso yentsimbi yaseMelika iya kwanda phantse ngama-20% ngo-2021, kwaye abenzi bentsimbi baseMelika bafuna ngokukhutheleyo ukunikezelwa okuzinzileyo kwezinto eziluhlaza ezivela kwiimoto ezilahliweyo, imibhobho yeoyile esetyenzisiweyo kunye nenkunkuma yokuvelisa. Ngokusekelwe kulwandiso oluqokelelweyo lweetoni ezisi-8 zezigidi zamandla okuvelisa ukususela ngo-2020 ukuya ku-2021, ishishini lentsimbi laseMelika kulindeleke ukuba landise amandla okuvelisa intsimbi ethe tyaba minyaka le kwilizwe malunga neetoni ezili-10 zezigidi ngo-2024.
Kuyaqondakala ukuba intsimbi eveliswa yinkqubo yokunyibilikisa intsimbi ekrazukileyo esekwe kwisithando sombane se-arc okwangoku ibandakanya malunga ne-70% yemveliso iyonke yentsimbi eMelika. Inkqubo yemveliso ivelisa ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni diokside ephantsi kune-iron ore yokunyibilikisa kwi-blast ovens ezifudunyezwa ngamalahle, kodwa ikwabeka uxinzelelo kwimarike ye-US scarlet. Ngokwezibalo ezivela kwi-Metal Strategies esePennsylvania, ukuthengwa kwe-scarlet ngabenzi bentsimbi base-US kunyuke nge-17% ngo-Okthobha ka-2021 ukusuka kunyaka ophelileyo.
Ngokwezibalo ezivela kwiWorld Steel Dynamics (WSD), ekupheleni kuka-2021, amaxabiso entsimbi ekrwada e-US anyuke ngomndilili we-26% ngetoni xa kuthelekiswa nexesha elifanayo ngo-2020.
“Njengoko iifektri zentsimbi ziqhubeka nokwandisa amandla azo e-EAF, izixhobo zokusebenza ezilahliweyo ezisemgangathweni ophezulu ziya kuba zinqabile,” utshilo uPhilip Anglin, i-CEO yeWorld Steel Dynamics.
