Non-fossil powered steel, or Green Steel, marks a key advancement in sustainable metallurgy. Traditional production uses carbon-intensive coal, while Hydrogen Direct Reduction (H-DR) offers a cleaner alternative.

Using green hydrogen from renewable electricity, the process replaces carbon monoxide with hydrogen as the reducing agent. This eliminates CO₂ emissions, producing only water vapor.

Success requires expanding renewable energy infrastructure and optimizing electric arc furnaces for full industrial decarbonization.
