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

Green Car Congress

The focus of this work is to characterize plausible hydrogen end use in iron and steelmaking in a manner that can inform coupling with H 2 generation and storage systems. When using H 2 only for iron ore reduction, economic viability is reached at an H 2 procurement cost of $1.70 —Rosner et al. Rosner et al. per kg H 2 or less.

SDSU-led project to design bacteria that extract rare earth elements in DARPA EMBER project

Green Car Congress

—principal investigator Marina Kalyuzhnaya To do this, the researchers will tap into the natural propensity of methane-consuming bacteria living in extreme conditions to capture REEs from the environment. We do anticipate that it would have a lot of benefits environmentally and lower energy costs compared to what is currently used.
