Tosyali Algeria Commissions the Largest DRI Plant in Africa





Tosyali Algeria has just reached a key milestone, propelling the steel industry toward new horizons. The Algerian-Turkish company has commissioned its second Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) plant.

This steel production site is the largest in Africa and the Mediterranean basin. A significant advancement that will offer a production capacity of over 2.5 million tons per year.

Moreover, Tosyali’s new facility adopts environmentally friendly production practices by using 100% hydrogen-based natural gas, thus reducing its carbon footprint.

Africa's Largest Steel Plant Aims for a Green Future

Tosyali’s project is part of a global strategy aimed at both a greener future and securing a prominent position on the international stage.

Indeed, this Algerian steel company aligns its project with current ecological standards. By meeting European environmental standards, Tosyali aims to strengthen its presence in markets across the Mediterranean.

In the European countries targeted by Tosyali, stringent requirements regarding CO2 emissions have been established. The plant has thus shifted towards the use of natural gas and renewable energy.

Additionally, a collaboration is planned between Tosyali and Sonatrach to create a green hydrogen production unit.

Tosyali: A Confirmed Leadership in Africa and the Mediterranean Basin

Tosyali’s new plant, now the largest DRI producer in Africa, solidifies its status as a national leader.

Furthermore, the company has ambitious objectives in this crucial phase. Tosyali aims to reach a revenue of "$3 billion" in the coming years. It plans to conquer new markets, particularly in Europe, where demand for low-carbon steel products is increasing.

Moreover, as a pioneer in adopting eco-friendly measures in Algeria's steel sector, Tosyali is engaged in various large-scale projects in Algeria. These include processing iron ore from the Gara Djebilet mine and expanding its operations in Oran.

In short, the Algerian steel company Tosyali is marking a major turning point in its sector. It is rising to the forefront and adopting international ecological standards for a greener future, allowing it to increase its presence in the global market.
