Argonne National Laboratory seeks to disrupt the steel industry by developing a potentially zero-carbon ironmaking process that eliminates the use of coke or natural gas and requires less energy than current processes. This would eliminate the ionomer, which conducts ions, but also poisons catalyst sites and obstructs oxygen transport.
