Volvo to build steel cars without fossil fuels by 2026 – Volvo
- brnt 5y agoWhile this new method of carbon-free steel production is great, for the time being the hydrogen is going come from natural gas. Setting up large scale hydrogen production using renewables is the real challenge, and while some work is being done (it's the German plan for offshore wind and solar: autonomous hydrogen production that's piped onshore), none of these test facilities approach the size needed to run a steel mill, as far as I know. I'm sceptical they'll be setting it all up before 2026, but I wish them, and us all, the best of luck.
