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. KGaA (SHS), which was founded in 2001, is the management holding of the two large Saarland-based steel companies. HBI is conventionally produced by reducing iron ore with natural gas.

In October 2001, the group announced an agreement with Swedish startup H2 Green Steel. This green hydrogen will replace the coal currently used in the conventional blast-furnace process. The BMW Group is expanding sourcing of low-carbon steel to two suppliers, meeting up to 40% of steel demand at European plants by 2030.

In China, oil consumption increased by 3% in 2008, according to BP data, which was down from 5% in 2007 and 8%, on average, since 2001. Coal consumption: lower increase due to financial crisis and more renewable electricity. Increasing use of biofuels, such as bioethanol and biodiesel, contributed about 0.3 percentage points lower.

Specific circumstances, such as the very warm fourth quarter of 2015 and relatively low natural gas prices, put downward pressure on emissions as natural gas was substituted for coal in electricity generation.

Currently, most hydrogen is produced via the steam reforming of natural gas, hydrocarbons and coal. An Argonne National Laboratory life cycle assessment of a Shell gasification-based multi-product stream in 2001 found that a dual-bed approach yielded a 76% CO conversion in the first bed, with 98% conversion in the second.

The continent was mostly powered by locally mined coal until the 1950s, when imports of cheap Middle Eastern oil started transforming the energy picture.
