2. Usage of Natural Gas in Modern Steel-making : A Financial and Environmental Evaluation of Available Steel-making Technology in Sweden
University essay from KTH/MaterialvetenskapAbstract : A method of producing steel that is not used in Sweden today is direct reduction using natural gas, a method which could has enormous potential in the future of steelmaking. Historically, steelmaking prioritized productivity and profitability. READ MORE

3. Life cycle assessment of coal based direct-reduced iron production in India
University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Abstract : The production of iron through direct reduction (Direct-Reduced Iron; DRI) involves the use of natural gas or coal to reduce iron ore to iron through carbothermic reactions at a temperature below its melting point, negating the need for a blast furnace as otherwise required. In India, around 25% of iron is produced through direct reduction. READ MORE

4. Towards a fossil free steel sector : Conditions for technology transfer of hydrogenbased iron and steel in Europe
University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Abstract : In order to meet the targets of the Paris Agreement, there is a need to significantly reduce emissions from energy-intensive industries, iron and steel included. One promising technology with the potential to reduce the emissions related to iron and steelmaking to basically none is direct reduction with fossil free hydrogen, which requires large amounts of fossil free electricity.

5. Biochar in the Höganäs sponge iron process – techno-economic analysis of integrated production
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematikAbstract : Biomass-based reducing agents have a potential to substitute fossil reducing agents in the steel industry. However, the industrial use of biomass-based reducing agents is currently in an early stage of development and has not yet been considered as a means to reduce fossil CO2 emissions, even though the use of fossil-based reducing agents for the iron and steel making cause the highest share of CO2 emissions.
