Produce hydrogen-based directly reduced iron (HDRI) in an EAF
Against the background of “carbon peak” and “carbon neutrality” in China, the traditional and long process of using a blast furnace converter in the steel industry is limited by many problems (such as limitations related to resources, energy, and the environment), and the carbon reduction potential of this process is also limited. The electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking process has the advantages of a shorter duration, recyclable resources, and low energy consumption, and the amount of carbon emissions of per ton of steel is far lower than that of the aforementioned longer process.
