Ferroalloys

Upstream

Our experienced analysts provide deep insight on upstream processes pertaining to ferroalloys and related commodities, including mining projects, supply and demand. We offer detailed analysis and forecasts on costs, price changes and emissions regulations so producers can more clearly understand the ferroalloys supply chain and confidently navigate a fluctuating market. What’s more, we report on decarbonisation initiatives as demand for green steel – and in turn, ferroalloys – ramps up, so clients can ensure compliance and identify areas of improvement within their own operations.
