Isdemir to maintain coking coal purchases in 2012

Friday, 09 Dec 2011

According to preliminary data, in 2012 Turkish steelmaker Isdemir plans to keep coking coal purchases at this year’s level of 3 million tonne. Nevertheless, the volumes may be lower if coke production is reduced. The material is imported from Australia, the USA and Canada.

According to available information, Isdemir operates 4 coke batteries with a total designed capacity of 2 million tonne per year. The company is running two blast furnaces with a total capacity of 3.6 million tonne per year and is self sufficient in coke. The leftover is shipped to Erdemir.
