The HBI can be used in electric arc furnaces (EAF) to replace scrap metal or in blast furnaces to replace coke (produced from coal) and iron ore. Conversion to green hydrogen from renewable energy sources will take place once available in sufficient quantities and at an economical cost. Earlier post.).

Currently, most hydrogen is produced via the steam reforming of natural gas, hydrocarbons and coal. WGS is an endothermic process typically carried out in industry at high temperatures (about 350 °C) with either an iron oxide- or copper-based catalyst to achieve almost complete CO conversion.
