Hydrogen-based Decarbonization

A comprehensive approach to replacing carbon-based reducing agents with hydrogen throughout the steel production cycle, as demonstrated by the Hydra project.

Electric Arc Furnace (EAF)

Steel production furnace that melts scrap steel or DRI using electric arcs, producing steel without the need for blast furnaces or coke.

Direct Iron Ore Reduction (DRI)

A process that reduces iron ore using hydrogen as a reducing agent instead of traditional carbon-based methods. The Hydra project will feature a 30-meter high DRI tower as a core component of its pilot plant.
