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
