Danieli invests to deliver advanced green technology On announcing its annual results to the end of June 2021, the Danieli Group highlighted a positive outlook for steel product demand and forecast that healthy markets for steelmakers, combined with their need to decarbonize production, will stimulate growth in orders for the innovative green technologies the company’s plantmaking operations deliver worldwide Source: November-December 2021 | Metal Market Magazine | 55
Enabling green steel “We have developed in-house green steel technology that includes, in collaboration with Tenova, the Energiron direct reduction plants,” reported Benedetti. These can be powered by hydrogen also, with virtually no carbon emissions, proceeding to a system that hot-charges DRI into a Digimelter, followed by direct rolling, thus minimizing energy consumption. Danieli MIDA (regional mini-mill) plants produce steel with a 90% decrease in CO2 emissions compared with current integrated plants, the company noted, and a 35% reduction over conventional mini-mills. “We also are studying how to recover the CO2 that is still generated by steelmaking,” wrote Benedetti. At ABS, for example, Danieli has a prototype system producing microalgae, thus “reducing the CO2 emissions generated by the gas-fired reheating furnace.” Also at ABS, a slag recovery and processing system has already been in operation for some time now and the concept will be extended to include other residues with the goal of creating a total circular-economy steelmaking plant. More generally, taxes on carbon dioxide emissions will heighten competition between integrated steel mills, using coke, and electric steel mills using recycled scrap steel. Electric mini-mills produce 20-25 times lower CO2 emissions than coke-based integrated steel mills, according to Danieli, and with the new Digimelter technologies their emissions are close to zero.

“For integrated steelmaking we will develop technologies aimed at reducing the CO2 emissions of blast furnaces by 25 to 50%,” Benedetti added. Some of the integrated steel mills may use up to 30% scrap charge, with a resulting proportional decrease in emissions, but this will depend on the costs of taxation on carbon emissions. “It should be noted that using scrap in the converters will drastically reduce the availability of scrap as raw material for electric steelmaking,” warned Benedetti. To control the price of scrap, which will tend to rise because of its limited availability, DRI will be used wherever possible, he observed. Therefore, an increase in the number of direct reduction plants is expected in those countries where gas is available at low cost, while waiting for green hydrogen – produced by using wind power and solar energy – to be available at competitive costs. “At the moment it is difficult to determine the trends according to which the steelmaking industry will reorganize itself, as this will depend significantly on local conditions and resources, as well as on the impact of CO2 taxation,” Benedetti pointed out. “However, in addition to a foreseeable competition between coke-based integrated steel plants, which are at a disadvantage due to high CO2 emissions, and electric steelmaking, we can expect that a number of integrated steel mills will be practically converted to the use of electric arc furnaces,” he added. One of Danieli’s approaches to the issue of CO2 emissions is to enhance blast furnace technologies to reduce the use of coke, while the target for electric steelmaking is near-zero emissions. An additional alternative is the use of hot-charged DRI into a Digimelter, or a mix of hot metal coming from a blast furnace and electrical melting. “In the next 15 years we therefore expect a 20-30% decrease in the production of steel from coke, which will be replaced by the use of hydrogen-based DRI and scrap,” Benedetti predicted. Danieli announced in late-October 2021 that it had signed a MoU with Ukraine’s Metinvest for the development and implementation of technologies for green and low-carbon steel production. “The parties will explore opportunities for implementing new technologies to reduce the carbon footprint of Metinvest’s facilities in Ukraine and the EU,” stated Danieli’s news release. “Initially, these technologies will cover the rolling segment of steelmaking to reduce CO2 emissions, exploit CO2 usage, and optimize energy consumption,” it added. Outlook Benedetti concluded that the results achieved over the past year with the start-up of innovative plants open new prospects for growth in both plantmaking and steelmaking for Danieli. He noted that the service department will be expanded further, not only at Danieli but also at ABS, which has set up ABS Service Systems. And he reiterated that the company is committed to reducing the CO2 emissions costs in all steelmaking phases by proposing technological solutions that make it possible, both for integrated and electric steelmaking. “The Danieli Plantmaking target is to achieve a 15% increase in sales thanks to innovative products, and particularly with the MIDA and Digimelter plants, which are unique and perfect for producing green steel,” Benedetti wrote, underlining that in the future competitiveness per ton will be calculated as capital expenditure plus operational expenditure plus CO2 tax/ton.

Russian steel projects reduce emission rates Russia’s steelmakers and iron producers are investing in new and modernized plants that reduce carbon dioxide emissions per tonne of steel produced. Marina Shulga summarizes a wide range of key projects In 2020, 1,864 million tonnes of steel were produced globally according to World Steel Association (Worldsteel) data. Total direct emissions from the sector were about 2.6 billion tonnes, representing 7-9% of global anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, according to Worldsteel. Over the same period, on average, every tonne of steel produced led to the emission of 1.85 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere, noted Worldsteel. Russia’s steelmakers are aiming to reduce their carbon footprint and are investing in a wide range of technologies to do so. NLMK Novolipetsk Steel (NLMK), the largest steelmaker in Russia, aims to reduce its CO2 emissions per tonne of pig iron and steel sold by 3% by 2023, to 1.84 tonnes, the company said. Over the last five years, NLMK has already reduced its CO2 emissions per tonne of pig iron and steel sold by 4%, from 1.98 tonnes in 2016 to 1.90 tonnes in 2020. The company said that a new power station, which is designed to make use of secondary sources of energy, will allow the company to reduce emissions of CO2. "The power station will help us to reduce consumption of energy from third-party sources, production assets in Lipetsk will be 95% energy self-sufficient and we will cut indirect emissions," the company said. "The technology will allow us to use converter waste gas and partially substitute for natural gas consumption," it explained. The plant will enable reduction in the site’s carbon monoxide (CO) emissions by 3,000 tonnes per year and its CO2 emissions by 650,000 tonnes per year. Once the new power plant is launched, the volume of by-product steelmaking gases at Lipetsk’s assets used as fuel will be equivalent to replacing 6 million tonnes of coal per year. Another ecology-related project of NLMK is the phase-in of new technologies for ore beneficiation at the Stoilensky Mining and Beneficiation Plant (GOK) during 2020-2023. That will help to increase metallization of iron ore and reduce CO2 emission by 790,000 tonnes per year. The company also supports the reduction of CO2 emission by its consumers. "NLMK produces high-strength and wear-resisting steel, which is used in production of transformers, wind generators and electric cars," the company noted. "According to our estimations, sales of such types of steel products in 2018-2023 allow the prevention of CO2 emissions of our customers by about 34 million tonnes per year, which exceeds NLMK’s emissions from steelmaking." In September 2021, NLMK signed a memorandum of cooperation to develop projects related to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions with Gazprom Neft, one of Russia’s largest oil companies. The joint projects will develop technologies for the production, transportation, storage and use of hydrogen in steelmaking. The companies will also jointly research and test carbon capture, utilization and storage technologies, NLMK said. Gazprom Neft signed similar agreements related to decarbonization with Severstal and Evraz – two other major steelmakers in Russia – in June 2021. Evraz Evraz reduced its CO2 emissions to 1.97 tonnes per tonne of crude steel produced in 2020, down from 2.01 tonnes in 2018, but unchanged compared with emissions in 2019. By 2030, the company plans to reduce CO2 emission of its steelmaking assets by 20%, to 1.58 tonnes per tonne of crude steel produced. Meanwhile its coal production sites should reach a 75% rate of methane utilization, which is a gas emitted in the process of degassing during coal mining. Evraz’s Steel segment, including operations in North America, generated a signifcant portion of the Group’s gross greenhouse gas emissions, and accounted for 70% of its total level in 2020. Operations in the Coal segment accounted for 30% of overall greenhouse gas emissions in 2020, 94% of which were methane emissions. There are several major projects at Evraz Nizhniy Tagil Iron and Steel Works (NTMK). One of them was installation of two aspiration systems during the reconstruction of blast furnaces No. 7 and No. 6. Another was the reconstruction of a coke dry-quenching plant, which allowed coke gas to be fed into energy-production systems at the works. The company is also increasing in-house energy-generation by installing pressure recovery turbines at BF No.7 and No.6 to capture furnace gases, further used for electricity generation. At Evraz West Siberian Iron & Steel Works (ZSMK), the company has been implementing a project for the final cooling of coke gas in enclosed-type heat exchange equipment. Water that comes from coke and by-product processes will be cooled in six enclosed containers. After that the water will be purified and returned to the production chain. Meanwhile, the cooled and filtered coke gas will be returned to ZSMK’s energy system and used at a power station, in heating furnaces of the rolling mill and at batteries for coke and by-product production. The project is expected to be completed in 2022. The company has also been modernizing gas and dust cleaning capacities at its steel and mining plants. Severstal Severstal aims to reduce its CO2 emissions by 3%, to 2.001 tonnes per tonne of steel by 2023, from 2.063 tonnes in 2020. By 2030, the company aims to reduce its emissions by about 10%, to 1.857 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of steel. A key Severstal initiative is the construction of a new coke battery No.11 at its Cherepovets steel mill. The new unit is needed for higher coke production to meet increasing cast iron and steel output, rather than substituting for existing equipment. The company launched the first 70,000-tonnes-per-year block of the coke battery No.11 in late 2020. The unit’s total capacity will be 1.4 million tonnes per year, and Severstal started hot testing the second battery block in late October. The battery is able to use low-value grades of coal without reducing the quality characteristics of coke, the company says. The system for dust-free delivery of coke from the chamber will provide air quality of up to 10 mg/m3, "the level of the cleanest steel enterprises in the world," the company says. The complex is equipped with smoke-free loading systems for coke batteries and its design will allow the coke battery to operate with virtually no unplanned emissions of gas. "As a result of these measures, the specific emissions from the coke battery No.11 complex will be 20% lower compared to the total specific emissions of coke oven batteries Nos. 7-10," Severstal notes. Severstal has also been investing in equipment to reduce emissions from sintering machines No.10 and No.11 in sinter shop No.3 at the Coke-Agglomeration plant until 2024. Along with other approved activities, this will reduce atmospheric emissions by 22.5% by the end of 2024. MMK Magnitogorsk Iron & Steel Works (MMK) plans to reduce its CO2 emissions to 1.8 tonnes per tonne of steel by 2025, the company told Metal Market Magazine. That will be a reduction by about 17.5% compared with the level in 2020, when its emission was 2.18 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of steel. The company commissioned a new sinter plant No.5 in 2019, which is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment. The start-up of the plant allowed MMK to decommission outdated equipment at sinter plant No.4 and significantly reduced its environmental impact. Dust emissions dropped by 2,100 tonnes per year, halving their emission. Sulphur dioxide emissions were reduced by four-fold, by 3,500 tonnes per year. And the plant has allowed a sixteen-fold reduction in benzopyrene emissions. By 2025, MMK will construct two new assets that will reduce waste emissions further. The first is coke battery No.12. Its construction is under way. The first phase will be finished in 2022, and the second phase in 2023. The capacity of the new coke battery will be 2.5 million tonnes per year. “The start up of a new battery will allow us to decommission five outdated batteries and reduce consumption of coal concentrate and natural gas,” said the company. “This modernization will help us to reduce total waste emissions by 11,350 tonnes per year, and CO2 by 1.1 million tonnes per year.” MMK is also building a new blast furnace No.11, which will have capacity for 3.7 million tonnes of pig iron per year. Its commissioning is expected in 2025, and once it has started the company will decommission three old blast furnaces. “That will help to reduce emission of wastes by 6,600 tonnes per year and of CO2 by 1.12 million tonnes per year,” the company said. For steelmaking, MMK has been implementing several projects that will help to reduce environmental impact. The company is constructing gas and dust cleaning capacity for electric-arc steelmaking furnace No.1 and gas scrubbers for furnaces Nos.1 and 2. That will help to double the gas cleaning capacity to up to 4.6 million cubic meters per hour. The commissioning of the new equipment is scheduled for mid-2022. MMK is also teaming up with equipment manufacturer SMS Group to study, develop and implement decarbonization technologies to reduce the steelmaker's CO2 emissions. According to MMK’s LinkedIn profile, the steelmaker will focus on technologies for the direct reduction of iron (DRI production) and the highly efficient production of hydrogen. Metalloinvest Metalloinvest plans to cut its emissions by 7% by 2025, and to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. “The key global trend, in China and in Russia as well, is increasing EAF-steelmaking. The main source [of emission] is traditional BOF steel melting, which requires coke batteries, blast furnaces and sinter plants,” Nazim Efendiev, Metalloinvest’s chairman of the board of directors, said during the presentation of the company’s annual report. He added that a target of the steel industry is to substitute for pig iron in steel melting. It can be substituted for by scrap, but its availability is limited and it often needs the addition of hot-briquetted iron (HBI) to make high-quality steel. “We see our mission in increasing HBI production,” Efendiev added. “By increasing HBI supply we help steelmakers in the EU and China to increase a share of EAF steelmaking.” In 2019, global steel production was 1.88 billion tonnes, according to World Steel Association (Worldsteel) data. Of this tonnage, 70.8% was made in BOFs and 28.7% in EAFs. Russia produced about 72 million tonnes of steel in that year, according to the Worldsteel data. For that tonnage, 64.2% was produced through BOF-based steelmaking and 33.5% via EAF. Metalloinvest plans to install two new DRI/HBI modules at its Lebedinsky GOK and Mikhailovsky GOK. Each module will have capacity to make 2 million tonnes of DRI/HBI per year. Thus the company will be able "to supply more [HBI] to the market as a substitute for scrap and pig iron,” Efendiev said. Both modules are projected to use up to 100% of hydrogen instead of natural gas, he added. In 2020, Metalloinvest produced 7.79 million tonnes of HBI/DRI and shipped to the market 4.6 million tonnes, making it the largest global supplier that year.

Water that comes from coke and by-product processes will be cooled in six enclosed containers. After that the water will be purified and returned to the production chain. Meanwhile, the cooled and filtered coke gas will be returned to ZSMK’s energy system and used at a power station, in heating furnaces of the rolling mill and at batteries for coke and by-product production. The project is expected to be completed in 2022. The company has also been modernizing gas and dust cleaning capacities at its steel and mining plants. Severstal Severstal aims to reduce its CO2 emissions by 3%, to 2.001 tonnes per tonne of steel by 2023, from 2.063 tonnes in 2020. By 2030, the company aims to reduce its emissions by about 10%, to 1.857 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of steel. A key Severstal initiative is the construction of a new coke battery No.11 at its Cherepovets steel mill. The new unit is needed for higher coke production to meet increasing cast iron and steel output, rather than substituting for existing equipment. The company launched the first 70,000-tonnes-per-year block of the coke battery No.11 in late 2020. The unit’s total capacity will be 1.4 million tonnes per year, and Severstal started hot testing the second battery block in late October. The battery is able to use low-value grades of coal without reducing the quality characteristics of coke, the company says. The system for dust-free delivery of coke from the chamber will provide air quality of up to 10 mg/m3, "the level of the cleanest steel enterprises in the world," the company says. The complex is equipped with smoke-free loading systems for coke batteries and its design will allow the coke battery to operate with virtually no unplanned emissions of gas. "As a result of these measures, the specific emissions from the coke battery No.11 complex will be 20% lower compared to the total specific emissions of coke oven batteries Nos. 7-10," Severstal notes. Severstal has also been investing in equipment to reduce emissions from sintering machines No.10 and No.11 in sinter shop No.3 at the Coke-Agglomeration plant until 2024. Along with other approved activities, this will reduce atmospheric emissions by 22.5% by the end of 2024. MMK Magnitogorsk Iron & Steel Works (MMK) plans to reduce its CO2 emissions to 1.8 tonnes per tonne of steel by 2025, the company told Metal Market Magazine. That will be a reduction by about 17.5% compared with the level in 2020, when its emission was 2.18 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of steel. The company commissioned a new sinter plant No.5 in 2019, which is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment. The start-up of the plant allowed MMK to decommission outdated equipment at sinter plant No.4 and significantly reduced its environmental impact. Dust emissions dropped by 2,100 tonnes per year, halving their emission. Sulphur dioxide emissions were reduced by four-fold, by 3,500 tonnes per year. And the plant has allowed a sixteen-fold reduction in benzopyrene emissions. By 2025, MMK will construct two new assets that will reduce waste emissions further. The first is coke battery No.12. Its construction is under way. The first phase will be finished in 2022, and the second phase in 2023. The capacity of the new coke battery will be 2.5 million tonnes per year. “The start up of a new battery will allow us to decommission five outdated batteries and reduce consumption of coal concentrate and natural gas,” said the company. “This modernization will help us to reduce total waste emissions by 11,350 tonnes per year, and CO2 by 1.1 million tonnes per year.” MMK is also building a new blast furnace No.11, which will have capacity for 3.7 million tonnes of pig iron per year. Its commissioning is expected in 2025, and once it has started the company will decommission three old blast furnaces. “That will help to reduce emission of wastes by 6,600 tonnes per year and of CO2 by 1.12 million tonnes per year,” the company said. For steelmaking, MMK has been implementing several projects that will help to reduce environmental impact. The company is constructing gas and dust cleaning capacity for electric-arc steelmaking furnace No.1 and gas scrubbers for furnaces Nos.1 and 2. That will help to double the gas cleaning capacity to up to 4.6 million cubic meters per hour. The commissioning of the new equipment is scheduled for mid-2022. MMK is also teaming up with equipment manufacturer SMS Group to study, develop and implement decarbonization technologies to reduce the steelmaker's CO2 emissions. According to MMK’s LinkedIn profile, the steelmaker will focus on technologies for the direct reduction of iron (DRI production) and the highly efficient production of hydrogen. Metalloinvest Metalloinvest plans to cut its emissions by 7% by 2025, and to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. “The key global trend, in China and in Russia as well, is increasing EAF-steelmaking. The main source [of emission] is traditional BOF steel melting, which requires coke batteries, blast furnaces and sinter plants,” Nazim Efendiev, Metalloinvest’s chairman of the board of directors, said during the presentation of the company’s annual report. He added that a target of the steel industry is to substitute for pig iron in steel melting. It can be substituted for by scrap, but its availability is limited and it often needs the addition of hot-briquetted iron (HBI) to make high-quality steel. “We see our mission in increasing HBI production,” Efendiev added. “By increasing HBI supply we help steelmakers in the EU and China to increase a share of EAF steelmaking.” In 2019, global steel production was 1.88 billion tonnes, according to World Steel Association (Worldsteel) data. Of this tonnage, 70.8% was made in BOFs and 28.7% in EAFs. Russia produced about 72 million tonnes of steel in that year, according to the Worldsteel data. For that tonnage, 64.2% was produced through BOF-based steelmaking and 33.5% via EAF. Metalloinvest plans to install two new DRI/HBI modules at its Lebedinsky GOK and Mikhailovsky GOK. Each module will have capacity to make 2 million tonnes of DRI/HBI per year. Thus the company will be able "to supply more [HBI] to the market as a substitute for scrap and pig iron,” Efendiev said. Both modules are projected to use up to 100% of hydrogen instead of natural gas, he added. In 2020, Metalloinvest produced 7.79 million tonnes of HBI/DRI and shipped to the market 4.6 million tonnes, making it the largest global supplier that year.

Ты чего бумагу мараешь, англосакс, что ли? А погоняло русское.
Северсталь "Северсталь" намерена сократить выбросы CO2 на 3%, до 2,001 тонны на тонну стали к 2023 году, с 2,063 тонны в 2020 году. К 2030 году компания планирует сократить свои выбросы примерно на 10%, до 1,857 тонны CO2 на тонну стали. Ключевой инициативой "Северстали" является строительство новой коксовой батареи № 11 на Череповецком металлургическом комбинате. Новая установка необходима для увеличения производства кокса для удовлетворения растущего производства чугуна и стали, а не для замены существующего оборудования. Компания запустила первый блок коксовой батареи № 11 мощностью 70 000 тонн в год в конце 2020 года. Общая мощность установки составит 1,4 млн тонн в год, и "Северсталь" приступила к горячим испытаниям второго аккумуляторного блока в конце октября. Батарея способна использовать малоценные сорта угля без снижения качественных характеристик кокса, говорится в сообщении компании. Система беспыльной доставки кокса из камеры обеспечит качество воздуха до 10 мг/м3, "уровень самых чистых металлургических предприятий в мире", говорится в сообщении компании. Комплекс оснащен системами бездымной загрузки коксовых батарей, и его конструкция позволит коксовой батарее работать практически без незапланированных выбросов газа. "В результате этих мер удельные выбросы комплекса коксовой батареи № 11 будут на 20% ниже по сравнению с общими удельными выбросами коксовых батарей № 7-10", - отмечает "Северсталь". "Северсталь" также инвестирует в оборудование для снижения выбросов от агломерационных машин № 10 и № 11 в агломерационном цехе № 3 Коксохимического завода до 2024 года. Наряду с другими утвержденными мероприятиями, это позволит сократить выбросы в атмосферу на 22,5 % к концу 2024 года.
В III квартале 2021 г. группа "Северсталь" нарастила выплавку стали в квартальном выражении на 3,7% до 2,88 млн т после модернизации конвертерного цеха и машин непрерывного литья заготовок. Продажи стальной продукции сохранились на уровне 2,7 млн т (рост на 0,6% (кв/кв)).
В связи с ростом средней цены реализации выручка за квартал увеличилась по отношению к предыдущему квартальному периоду на 8,8% до $3,21 млрд, показатель EBITDA вырос на 4,6% до $1,73 млрд, чистая прибыль - на 8,6% до $ 1,24 млрд. Отдельно отметим рост свободного денежного потока на 6,0% (кв/кв) до $992 млн, а также чрезвычайно низкий уровень долговой нагрузки: показатель отношения чистого долга к EBITDA LTM снизился до 0,29х. В этих условиях дивидендная политика компании предполагает распределение на квартальные дивиденды не менее 100% свободного денежного потока за соответствующий период. Совет директоров "Северстали" рекомендовал выплатить дивиденды за III квартал из расчета 85,93 руб. на акцию. Закрытие реестра предложено на 14 декабря 2021 г. Это рекордные дивиденды в истории компании. К текущей цене акции дивидендная доходность составляет 5,3%. Мы подтверждаем рекомендацию "Покупать" по акциям "Северстали" с целевой ценой 2022,76 руб. на август 2022 года. https://www.finam.ru/international/imdaily/meta...
#Макро ⚡️ ГОСДУМА ОДОБРИЛА ПОВЫШЕНИЕ С 2022 ГОДА НДПИ НА ЖЕЛЕЗНУЮ РУДУ, КОКСУЮЩИЙСЯ УГОЛЬ И КАЛИЙНЫЕ СОЛИ
Ну никто и не сомневался.
Москва. 18 ноября. ИНТЕРФАКС - Госдума приняла в окончательном, третьем чтении законопроект, который меняет схему взимания НДПИ с ряда твердых полезных ископаемых и вводит в РФ акциз на сталь. Согласно принятому документу (N1258307-7), в Налоговый кодекс (НК) вводится формула расчета акциза на сталь жидкую (Асж). Она будет составлять 2,7% от среднемесячной экспортной цены сляба в морских портах юга РФ. Акциз не будет взиматься, если средняя экспортная цена сляба опускается ниже $300 за тонну. В настоящее время цена сляба превышает $600 за тонну. Из-под действия акциза на сталь выводятся предприятия, которые используют жидкую сталь для получения продуктов (полупродуктов) металлургического производства путем литья, при этом масса произведенных продуктов за налоговый период (месяц) не должна превышать 1 тыс. тонн. Также из-под действия акциза выводятся предприятия, в которых есть цеха по разливу стали в отраслях машиностроения, военно-промышленного комплекса, электроники и радиоэлектронной промышленности, судостроения. При этом компании должны быть включены в перечень, формируемый Минпромторгом по согласованию с Минфином. "При этом организация, производящая специальную сталь, включается в указанный перечень при условии производства такой организацией специальной стали не более 300 тыс. тонн в году, предшествующем году включения в указанный перечень, и применяет предусмотренное настоящим подпунктом освобождение в части использования стали жидкой, являющейся специальной сталью", - говорится в документе. Под особую формулу (Аэп) расчета акциза попадает жидкая сталь, выплавляемая в электросталеплавильных печах при условии, что доля лома при производстве стальной заготовки составляет не менее 80%. Для такой стали предложено установить ставку 0,3 от разницы между средней экспортной ценой на стальную заготовку, определенную на условиях поставки FOB в портах РФ Южного федерального округа, и ценой продажи стального лома, определенной на условиях поставки "фрахт/СРТ до железнодорожной станции" в Уральском федеральном округе, а также половины расходов на приобретение ферросплавов и легирующих элементов, использованных для производства продуктов металлургического производства. Спред между стоимостью заготовки и ценами на лом, при котором действует акциз, составляет 12 тыс. 500 руб. В случае, если значение акциза на электросталь оказалось более 1 тыс. рублей, в таком налоговом периоде ставка акциза принимается равной 1 тыс. рублей. В то же время предлагается ввести в НК налоговые вычеты, если производитель сможет предоставить документы, подтверждающие дальнейшее производство из жидкой стали металлургической продукции путем литья. Принятый законопроект также меняет порядок налогообложения железной руды, коксующегося угля, повышает рентный коэффициент с 3,5 до 7 для апатит-нефелиновых, апатитовых и фосфоритовых руд. Для калия вводится дополнительный коэффициент в размере 85 руб. на тонну добытой руды. В частности, НДПИ на железную руду будет рассчитываться исходя из рыночной котировки на сырье в Китае (азиатский рынок Iron Ore Fines) и будет равен 4,8% от котировки с учетом содержания в руде полезного компонента. При цене на железную руду ниже $60 за тонну также предусматривается фиксация размера ставки в размере $0,63 за тонну. При этом для новых инвестиционных проектов на участках с выработанностью на 1 января 2021 года менее 1% и реализуемых в рамках соглашений о защите и поощрении капиталовложений (СЗПК), вводится отдельный НДПИ на 15 лет с момента начала промышленной добычи (или до истечения срока действия соглашения о СЗПК). Для коксующегося угля cтавка НДПИ будет на уровне 1,5% от средней цены на сырье на базисе котировок FOB Australia Premium Coking Coal. Для всех остальных видов угля сохраняется дифференцированная ставка. Уточняется порядок расчета ставки НДПИ для многокомпонентных комплексных руд, богатых полезными компонентами и добываемых в Красноярском крае. В частности, в отношении многокомпонентных комплексных руд с содержанием меди, никеля, металлов платиновой группы, добываемых на территории Красноярского края, ставка НДПИ будет применяться в зависимости от содержания полезных компонентов в руде и их стоимости на мировых рынках (медь, никель, палладий, платина, золото, кобальт). Коэффициент изъятия составит 6%. Рассчитываемая таким образом ставка не может быть меньше 2 тыс. 555 руб. за 1 тонну многокомпонентной комплексной руды. Закон вступит в силу через месяц после официального опубликования, но не ранее 1-го числа очередного налогового периода по соответствующему налогу (для акциза и НДПИ это календарный месяц).
