Bula Gets On Board with Green Steel Startup
Written by Tim Triplett
Mark Bula sees an analogy between the latest green steel technology and the electric arc furnaces (EAFs) that transformed traditional steelmaking back in the 1980s. “Just as minimills once disrupted the industry, we must once again take a monumental leap forward,” he said.
Bula is well known in the steel industry for his prior role as the chief commercial officer of Big River Steel. The Osceola, Ark., EAF flat-rolled mill that started operations in 2017 and set a new standard for automation and environmental design as the first LEED-certified steel mill in the country. Now in a similar role with a new Swedish startup known as H2 Green Steel (H2GS), Bula is excited to find himself on the front lines of the burgeoning environmental movement in steel.
