Green H2 in the steel sector

Beatriz Nieto - Head of Engineering Unit - SPANISH NATIONAL HYDROGEN CENTRE

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe and is key to fossil fuel refinery processes and to the production of ammonia for the fertiliser industry.
One of the sectors in which hydrogen shows the greatest potential is steel production, which accounts for 7% of all greenhouse gas emissions and therefore has quite a significant impact on the environment.
Green hydrogen to decarbonise steel production through different processes promises to be, in the long term, a financially profitable route according to various studies.
