Innovative Uses of Hydrogen in Steelmaking

Innovative uses of Hydrogen in Steelmaking JAYSON RIPKE, PH.D. MIDREX TECHNOLOGIES, INC. FOR PRESENTATION AT: U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY’S H2@SCALE WORKSHOP MAY 23, 2017 UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON – HOUSTON, TX Outline I. The 2 Routes to Steelmaking I. Blast Furnace -> Basic Oxygen Furnace (BF/BOF) II. Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) I. Scrap II. Scrap Supplements I. Pig Iron, Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) II. RD&D Needs for H2 Steelmaking I.
