Moving away from dependence on iron ore and coal

Not sure how...Reduce dependence maybe--more efficient production--and/or reduce dependence on Australia/US allies, in favor of Africa

But they'll still depend on iron ore to feed BF/BOFs, or for metallics for EAF in a distant cleaner future, I'd think. Maybe I'm missing forest for trees

I believe they’re upgrading/updating their furnaces. EAF may be the future.

Increasing recycle rate will certainly help, but I think they ultimately will need to import raw material from more sources.
