Raw material<br />
Germany has no metallic raw materials. The steel industry in Germany<br />
is therefore – with the exception of steel scrap – 100 per cent dependent<br />
on imports.<br />
Around two tonnes of raw materials are needed for every tonne of steel.<br />
At 44.4 million tonnes, iron ore accounts for the largest quantity in 2007.<br />
Imports come above all from Brazil, Canada and Sweden. The second<br />
important raw material is steel scrap at 21.7 million tonnes. Coal is mainly<br />
imported, chiefl y from Australia, the USA and Canada.<br />
