The idea is to replace the blast furnaces with an alternative process, using hydrogen produced from “clean” electricity. The specific investment and operating costs of direct reduction plants are low compared to integrated steel plants and are more suitable for many developing countries where supplies of coking coal are limited.

While EVs don’t produce emissions, the electricity they use could be produced from a coal or gas-powered power plant. In most cases, solar EV charging costs less than grid charging. In some cases, the cost of producing your own solar energy is more than 50% less than buying grid power. Solar EV Charging.
