It should be said that until the entire European energy supply is carbon free, green steel is not only incredibly expensive, but also bad for the climate. It would be much better in both ways to feed that energy into the electric grid to replace fossil fueled power. Norway has a similar initiative to produce carbon free ammonium, but that, too, depends on dirt cheap electricity supply to be rational. https://www.horisontenergi.no/blue-ammonia/ https://www.horisontenergi.no/blue-ammonia/ In both cases, Hydrogen is used, and I suppose if large amounts of hydrogen becomes available and very cheap (for instance due to excess wind power supply), it _could_ be good to already have this tech available. But based on what I can see from electricity flows from Denmark and Germany to Norway, it is still very rare for the European grid to have excess power due to good wind conditions. https://www.nordpoolgroup.com/en/Market-data1/Power-system-data/Exchange1/NO/Hourly21/?view=table https://www.nordpoolgroup.com/en/Market-data1/Power-system-d... Norway can still absorb a lot more wind power on such days by temporary pausing hydro production. (Max hydroelectric electricity production in Norway is around 20GW, or about 4KW per capita).
