Survey team overlooking the planned 500-acre Eastern Corridor industrial site and harbour route
Competitive moat · Execution

The 500-acre site on Ghana's harbour corridor.

Land, legals, engineering and capital sequenced into one execution path: Phase-1 acquisition in 2026, EPC across 2027–28, and first green steel pour planned for Q4 2028.

Illustrative 2026 site-development vision
Land acquisition status

One contiguous Phase-1 parcel.

Parcel
500 acres

Phase-1 footprint sized for generation, hydrogen, steelmaking and logistics on one contiguous site.

Location
Eastern Corridor, Ghana

Proximity-to-harbour route for feedstock imports and green steel export.

Status
Acquisition & logistics commencement — 2026

Parcel due diligence and Phase-1 securing under the 2026 workstream.

Tenure route
Long-term industrial land tenure

Structured with national and traditional authorities under Ghanaian land law.

Legal & permitting milestones

The consenting path, workstream by workstream.

Title & tenure
2026 workstream

Parcel searches, boundary survey, tenure documentation and registration of the Phase-1 holding.

Environmental & social
2026 workstream

ESIA scoping and submission, resettlement and community engagement framework, IFC-aligned safeguards.

Permitting
2026–27

Construction, water abstraction, generation licensing and industrial operating permissions.

MOE licensing
Commenced

Molten Oxide Electrolysis licensing commenced under the 2024 technology-stack milestone.

Grid & offtake agreements
2026–27

Interconnection, hydro dispatch contracting and offtake heads of terms.

EPC contracting
2027

Owner's engineer appointment, package tendering and EPC award ahead of mobilisation.

Consenting is sequenced so that no construction package is awarded ahead of its enabling permit.
