IDTechEx Research Article: The global steel industry is shifting towards decarbonization, with hydrogen-based and electric ironmaking technologies developing at an accelerated pace in recent years.

China’s ‘explosive’ ironmaking breakthrough achieves 3,600-fold productivity boost A new method for making iron is not only faster and cheaper, but also better for the environment, according ...

This method could slash the environmental impact of traditional ironmaking and eventually compete on cost with today’s carbon-heavy approaches. Last year, the team showed that electrochemistry ...

While DRI facilities account for just 9% of global ironmaking capacity today, they comprise nearly 40% of what’s under development. The U.S., for its part, has only three DRI plants up and ...

This equates to a 3,600-fold or more increase in the speed of ironmaking. The new method also works exceptionally well for low or medium-yield ores that are abundant in China, according to the ...

This may not be sustainable.” Ironmaking in a blast furnace involves combining carbon and iron ore at very high temperatures to “reduce” the iron ore to “pig iron,” the key raw material in the steel ...

Ironmaking is believed to have thrived across the Hittite Empire about 3,400 years ago. But the latest findings suggest that people in the Bronze Age, before the Iron Age, were already trying to ...

When Abraham Darby I arrived in Coalbrookdale in 1708 he started a chain of events which changed the industrial world. He began a tradition of ironmaking which lasted for four generations.
