ABOUT BINDING SOLUTIONS

Binding Solutions is a fast-growing technology company that has developed a patented process for significantly reducing carbon emissions from steel production. Our cold agglomerated pellets (CAPs) enable reductions of up to 80% in energy usage and 70% in CO2 emissions by replacing sinter and induration process that account for approximately 15% of the sector’s emissions. Using our CAP technology can also cut capital requirements by 86% vs indurated pellets and reduce process complexity, delivering commercial benefits to iron ore miners, pellet producers and steel makers.

BSL’s technology can also be deployed to monetise waste fines from metals production by converting them into CAPs that can be added back to the furnace. Following successful blast furnace trials with British Steel in June 2025, BSL announced an MOU with the Salzgitter Group to undertake trials of BSL’s CAPs for blast furnace and direct reduction applications.

BSL’s advanced Technology Centre provides full life cycle testing for clients from lab scale to furnace trial. We are able to work with a wide variety of ores and to simulate conditions in all types of production furnaces.

In May 2025, BSL announced the signature of a Memorandum of Understanding to assess the potential for a state-of-the-art iron ore CAP plant at HES International’s HBTR terminal in Rotterdam, the largest dry bulk terminal in Europe.
