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

Green Car Congress

In this study, break-even levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) targets for decarbonizing the steel industry with H 2 -DRI are established by comparing H 2 -DRI to the commercial natural gas-based direct reduced iron (NG-DRI) process. When using H 2 only for iron ore reduction, economic viability is reached at an H 2 procurement cost of $1.70

Here’s how – and why – EVs and solar are connected

Baua Electric

EV owners are more likely to add solar panels to their homes, according to a new US Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) study – here’s why. The researchers acknowledge that solar has been around longer than EVs, and the cost of having residential solar is less than most EVs.) Get started here. –
