Ammonia-Based Direct Reduction: Cost Slashing, Industry Carbon Transformation
Here’s an article found in chemeurope.
According to the article,
- Steel production contributes to about 7% of global CO2 emissions.
- Hydrogen-based ironmaking is being explored as a sustainable alternative to reduce these emissions.
- The challenge is to produce energy and hydrogen in sustainable ways for the steelmaking process.
- Max Planck Institute for Iron Research used ammonia as a hydrogen carrier and reductant for iron.
