Centro Sviluppo Materiali (CSM)

Steel production furnace that melts scrap steel or DRI using electric arcs, producing steel without the need for blast furnaces or coke.

A comprehensive approach to replacing carbon-based reducing agents with hydrogen throughout the steel production cycle, as demonstrated by the Hydra project.

A process that reduces iron ore using hydrogen as a reducing agent instead of traditional carbon-based methods. The Hydra project will feature a 30-meter high DRI tower as a core component of its pilot plant.

Lazio

A six-year European Commission-funded initiative aimed at pioneering 100% hydrogen-fueled steel production. The project includes designing and constructing an operational pilot plant, establishing a testing and qualification hub, and creating a training center for hydrogen-based decarbonization technologies.
