Green Steel Production (H2-DRI)

Hydrogen-based direct reduction replacing coking coal in steelmaking.
Green Steel Production (H2-DRI)

Green steel production replaces traditional blast furnaces and coking coal with hydrogen-based direct reduction of iron ore (H2-DRI), followed by electric arc furnace melting. This eliminates up to 95% of CO2 emissions from primary steelmaking, the largest industrial source of carbon globally. Pilot and commercial plants are emerging in Europe, Middle East, and Australia.
