IDOM will conduct Pre-Feasibility Studies (PFS) in Fos-sur-Mer

An important milestone in support of the ambition to accelerate the decarbonization of steel production and to enable a low CO2 future in Europe

GravitHy has chosen IDOM as its partner to conduct the Pre-Feasibility Studies (PFS) of its first-of-a-kind decarbonized Hydrogen based DRI/HBI facility to be built in Fos-sur-Mer, southern France. IDOM started from its inception working for the Steel mills in Spain and since then, it has been playing a major role in the execution and development of projects for the main Iron & Steel manufacturers worldwide, becoming today one of the most recognized companies in the market, with a particular relevant expertise in Green Steel projects.

The PFS will consist of the preliminary engineering, project implementation strategy and CAPEX/OPEX development, which will allow GravitHy to prepare a solid dossier for the permitting process, define core packages, mitigate risks, validate key business fundamentals as well as to advance in the project financing. It is an important investment that reinforces GravitHy´s commitment with the realization of the project in Fos-sur-Mer.

According to GravitHy´s Senior Project Manager, Jean-Luc Kadita, “As GravitHy is a project with many complexities, collaboration with the right partners is vital to its success. Our team is delighted to have IDOM on board, and I am looking forward to utilizing their expertise and hands-on approach to execute our PFS successfully, working closely and alongside other stakeholders, such as local authorities and potential suppliers.”
