A new milestone has been achieved in the decarbonisation of the steel industry.

In HBZX High Tech Plant in Xuan Hua, a mixture of more than 60% hydrogen has been successfully used in the production process of DRI (Direct Reduced Iron).
This plant is now the greenest industrial DRI plant in the world. It produces only 250 kg of carbon dioxide per ton of DRI. In addition, half of this gas will be reused in downstream processes (carbon capture and use or CCU / CCS storage) thus halving the net emission.
The direct reduction technology used is ENERGIRON®, jointly developed by Tenova and Gruppo Danieli. This technology allows the use of hydrogen as a reducing agent up to 100%.
