In reply to the Hon. M.C. PARNELL (3 June 2020).

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade and Investment): The Minister for Energy and Mining has advised:

1. GFG Alliance has publicly announced its transformation plan for the Whyalla Steelworks that includes consideration for future green steel production.

2. Our government continues to work with GFG to secure the long-term future of the Whyalla Steelworks operations and green steel production.

The government has committed to provide $50 million for capital investments at Whyalla which ensure its long-term viability.

3. The Department for Energy and Mining is currently delivering the Hydrogen Action Plan. The department is also collaborating with the CSIRO on the state's Magnetite Strategy and with the University of Adelaide's Centre for Energy Technology on its proposed Heavy Industry Low-carbon Transition Cooperative Research Centre, on how they might contribute to green steel in the future.
