Hydrogen‑based direct reduction of iron (DRI), combined with electric arc furnaces (EAF), is a low‑carbon steel‑production route in which iron ore is reduced to sponge iron using a reducing gas – initially natural gas and increasingly green hydrogen – rather than coal and coke in a blast furnace.[9][10] Salzgitter’s SALCOS® project is implementing such hydrogen‑ready direct‑reduction plants and EAFs to replace its conventional blast‑furnace/basic‑oxygen‑furnace route, with the aim of cutting CO₂ emissions by up to 95 percent once predominantly green hydrogen is used.[6][9]
