National labs team delivers techno-economic analyses of H2 DRI scenarios for green steel

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen-based direct reduced iron (H 2 -DRI) is an alternative pathway for low-carbon steel production. Yet, the lack of established process and business models defining “green steel” make it difficult to understand what the respective H 2 price has to be in order to be competitive with commercial state-of-the-art natural gas DRI. …
