Project Type: Fuel Switching
Hamburg H2
September 25, 2024Arcelor Mittal’s €110 million Hamburg H2 project, which has recieved €55 million of funding support from the German government, is designed to test the ability to replace the use of natural gas with hydrogen to reduce iron ore and form DRI on an industrial scale, as well as then testing how that carbon-free DRI reacts […]
SALCOS
September 25, 2024SALCOS plans to use hydrogen for climate-neutral steel production. Their climate-neutral steel production will take place in three expansion stages over the long term. These contain clearly defined targets for the coming years. By gradually replacing the blast furnaces currently in use with direct reduction plants and electric arc furnaces, they will already be in […]
Syngas Production from Recycled Chemical Byproduct Streams
September 25, 2024The Syngas Production from Recycled Chemical Byproduct Streams project was selected by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations to begin award negotiations for up to $75 million in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act funding, as part of the Industrial Demonstrations Program. The project plans to recycle liquid byproducts into […]
SSAB Hydrogen-Fueled Zero Emissions Steel
September 25, 2024SSAB has been selected for awards negotiations for up to $500 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Energy for a potential construction of a HYBRIT manufacturing facility, capable of producing fossil free iron by using green hydrogen instead of fossil fuels. SSAB has signed a letter of intent for Hy Stor Energy to […]
Middletown Works DRI Plant and Electric Melting Furnaces
September 25, 2024Cleveland-Cliffs Steel Corporation has been selected for awards negotiations for up to $500 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Energy for the Hydrogen-Ready Direct Reduced Iron Plant and Electric Melting Furnace Installation project for iron and steel. This project includes plans to install a hydrogen-ready flex-fuel Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) plant and two […]
Low Carbon SmartMelt Furnace Conversion project
September 25, 2024Constellium has been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations to begin award negotiations for up to $75 million in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act funding as part of the Industrial Demonstrations Program. This investment will support the installation of low-emissions SmartMelt furnaces that can operate using a […]
ArcelorMittal Dofasco
September 25, 2024ArcelorMittal has broken ground on its CAD$1.8 billion investment decarbonisation project at the ArcelorMittal Dofasco plant in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. This project will fundamentally change the way steel is made at ArcelorMittal Dofasco, transitioning the site to direct reduced iron-electric arc furnace (‘DRI-EAF’) steelmaking, which carries a considerably lower carbon footprint and removes coal from […]
Lebec Net Zero Cement Plant Project
September 25, 2024The National Cement Company of California was selected by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations to begin award negotiations for up to $500 million in funding as part of the Industrial Demonstrations Program for their Net Zero Cement Plant project. Instead of using fossil fuels, the project would use locally […]
Path2Zero
September 25, 2024Dow is building a net-zero facility near Edmonton, in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland, that will produce 3.2 million metric tonnes of polyethylene and ethylene derivatives. The project will also modernize its existing facility near Fort Saskatchewan to produce net-zero carbon emissions. It began construction in April 2024, with the first phase expected to come on line […]
