ArcelorMittal Europe to produce “green steel” starting in 2020

Green Car Congress

Ultimately to reach zero, this hydrogen will need to be green (produced via electrolysis which is powered by renewable electricity). At ArcelorMittal Dunkerque a study has been launched to build a large-scale DRI plant, combined with an electric arc furnace. First verified green steel for customers.

EU NELLI project delivers new generation solid-oxide fuel cell; efficient and lower cost

Green Car Congress

In an SOFC electrolysis system, fuel cells convert excess power from renewable generation to turn water into hydrogen, addressing intermittency and storage issues for wind and solar. Companies and research organisations from Estonia, Finland, Italy, Sweden, Belgium, Germany and the UK were involved. NELLHI received €1.6
