Swedish tax payers are already all-in on “green steel”. But it seems we are betting on a different process, using hydrogen gas to strip the oxygen from the iron. Paradoxically, if this new electrolytic process works it’s probably a (financial) disaster for us…
EDIT: For clarity, based on comment below.
- alex_duf 3y agoWhy would it be a disaster if the hydrogen based "green steel" were a success?
- bjornsing 3y agoNo I meant it would be a (financial) disaster if a cheaper way of making “green steel” was discovered. As I understand it this process (the OP) could be such a process.
- fransje26 3y agoWell, they also produce hydrogen in the process, so you could ask them kindly for the rest gases, and be on your way. And now, you are not producing one unit of steel thanks to the electrolysis process, but two. Win! ;-)
