Project ROC aims to revolutionize steel production by replacing carbon with hydrogen as a reducing agent, significantly reducing CO2 emissions. It integrates multiple steelmaking processes into a single operation powered by green electricity, enhancing efficiency and sustainability in the steel industry.
With 1.8 billion tons produced per year, steel is the dominant metallic material.
It can be recycled by melting scrap, a resource satisfying at most 30% of the demand.
Hence, fresh steel must be produced in huge amounts, from oxide minerals reduced by CO in blast furnaces, followed by partial removal of C by O2 in converters.
These two processes create ~2.1 tons CO2 per ton of steel, qualifying steelmaking as the largest single greenhouse gas emitter on earth (~8% of all emissions). ROC tackles…
