Weberg defines "green" iron and steel as having no fossil fuels involved at any point in its production. "Our iron industry in Minnesota has been working toward this for some time," Weberg said. "Our colleagues at Cleveland-Cliffs and at U.S. Steel have been making significant progress with direct reduced grade pellets."
4.4 Direct Reduction. Direct reduced iron is iron ore in the form of lumps, fines or pellets that have had the oxygen removed by using hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Typical sources of carbon monoxide are natural gas, coal gas, and coal. Other energy inputs into the production process often include oil and electricity.
Switching from blast furnaces that consume coal to green hydrogen-based direct reduced iron (DRI) processes is widely considered a key step in the global steel sector's decarbonisation pathway. However, insufficient supply of suitable iron ore is a potential challenge to a global shift towards zero-emissions DRI processes.

The traditional ironmaking technologies (including coking, sintering, pelletizing, and BF ironmaking process) are carbon-intensive, which makes the industry a significant contributor to global CO2 emissions. Hydrogen replacement of carbon in steelmaking processes is a sustainable way to reduce CO2 emissions. First, the …
BHP – one of the key suppliers of blast furnace-grade iron ore and metallurgical coal to the steel industry – has stated: "There is simply not enough high-quality iron ore suitable for efficient DRI/EAF production to meet the global steel demand.". BHP considers that most of the world's steel will still be produced via the blast ...

1 Introduction. The iron and steel industry as one of the biggest industrial emitters of CO 2 accounts for approximately 30% of the global industrial CO 2 emissions. As set in the Paris Agreement, the emissions of greenhouse gases have to be reduced by 80–95% until 2050 compared with preindustrial levels to keep global warming below 2 °C.
In response, recognizing that a proactive approach could give them a competitive advantage, leading steel players are setting their own emissions reduction targets and formulating strategies for reaching them. Three main pathways exist for incumbent players to decarbonize steel production. (See Exhibit 1.) Direct-Reduced …
