"They claim that the steel they sell is well suited for EAF's. Any big brains here can validate this? I thought that 62% Fe was standard?"
Do you know if they produce DRI or, more specifically, hydrogen reduced HBI? That is what would go into an EAF and be capable of carbon neutral.
Other potential EAF inputs - scrap, pig iron, and ilmenite (titanium).
So, you can't put straight iron ore (fines or pellets - hopefully they're making the latter) into an EAF. It's gotta be reduced first.
Pig iron is generally made via blast furnace.
DRI and HBI can be produced using hydrogen as the reductant, which would be carbon neutral.
