<H1>Hydrogen in steel production: what is happening in Europe – part one</H1>
<P>The steel industry accounts for 4% of all the CO2 emissions in Europe
and 22% of the industrial carbon emissions in Europe. Several options
for its decarbonization are possible: increasing
the efficiency of current production methods, recycling of steel,
carbon capture and storage (CCS) and hydrogen. Hydrogen as a solution to
decarbonize industry has been receiving increasing amounts of
attention. There are two ways in which hydrogen can be used in
steel production: as an auxiliary reducing agent in the BF-BOF
route (H2-BF) or as the sole reducing agent in a process
known as direct reduction of iron or DRI (H2-DRI). This
article will focus on H2-BF, while H2-DRI will be discussed in a
future article. </P>
