Hydrogen‑based direct reduction of iron is a steelmaking process in which iron ore is reduced to solid metallic iron using hydrogen or a hydrogen‑rich gas instead of carbon‑intensive coke in a blast furnace, substantially lowering CO2 emissions.[6][8] Within the SALCOS program, Salzgitter is developing direct reduction plants, including the μDRAL pilot plant, to prove and then scale up this technology in an integrated steel mill environment.[6][8]

Integration of digital controls, monitoring, and optimization systems across the entire production chain.

Steel is made by melting sponge iron in an electric arc furnace using renewable electricity instead of fossil fuels.
