Teesside University is working with industry partners on an exciting £270,000 project this summer to demonstrate green steelmaking innovation in the UK.
Led by The Materials Processing Institute, the project – codenamed H2DRI – will focus on how the process can be scaled up and will build practical and scientific understanding on how best to deliver economically and environmentally sustainable green steelmaking.
Part of the government’s Net Zero Innovation Portfolio Industrial Fuel Switching Competition that funds low carbon technologies and systems, the project is led by the Institute in partnership with Teesside University, electrical technology developers C-Tech Innovation, the Steel and Metals Institute at Swansea University, and global metals and mining company Rio Tinto.
In addition, they will collaborate with a larger industrial interest group made up of ironmakers, steelmakers and supply chain businesses, including energy developers.
