What you will learn
• Evaluate the contribution of global steelmaking emissions to the need for industrial decarbonisation by 2050.
• Differentiate blast furnace/basic oxygen furnace, electric arc furnace, and direct reduced iron routes by their inputs, energy requirements, and carbon footprints.
• Analyse the reactor heat-balance implications of replacing carbon with hydrogen during iron reduction.
• Assess the technical and economic constraints affecting green-hydrogen steelmaking, including production scale, cost, and iron-ore quality.
• Compare molten oxide electrolysis, biomass or biochar substitution, and carbon capture and utilisation as complementary steelmaking decarbonisation pathways.
