Suggested EU project intends to evaluate the steel smelting process of the future through modeling, pilot and plant validation. The EU project will evaluate the effects of new / alternative iron carriers in the form of a higher degree DRI / HBI and substitute fossil energy carriers with green hydrogen, bio-based coal and finally investigate the energy flows and possibilities with CO2 capture. The project was submitted to the call HORIZON-CL4-2022-TWIN-TRANSITION-01-16.
