DRI production. Direct reduction of iron is the removal of oxygen from iron ore or other iron bearing materials in the solid state, i.e. without melting, as in the blast furnace. The reducing agents are carbon monoxide and hydrogen, coming from reformed natural gas, …
CX-028861: Scaling Hydrogen-Direct Reduced Iron Pathways to Decarbonize Iron and Steelmaking The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) to increase the Technology Readiness Level of the hydrogen-based direct reduction of iron oxide (DRI) process.
1.Introduction. In an era of mounting environmental challenges and a growing imperative to transition towards sustainable energy solutions, exploring clean and renewable hydrogen (H 2) resources has become a pivotal endeavor [1].The urgent need to address climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions has propelled hydrogen …
The shaft furnace direct reduction-electric arc furnace (DR-EAF) route (Fig. 1) is the primary alternative to the BF-BOF route, which reduces lump ore/pellets to direct reduced iron (DRI) primarily using natural gas (NG), and further converts the DRI in an EAF. The DR-EAF route significantly reduced the consumption of coke and coal while ...
A Direct Reduced Iron plant is a furnace that produces Direct Reduced Iron (DRI), also referred to as sponge iron due to its porous nature. The process can also produce Hot Briquetted Iron (HBI). The iron can then be used to produce steel via other production routes, such as the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF). The process uses iron ore …
Among heavy industrial sectors worldwide, the steel industry ranks first in carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions.Technologies that produce direct reduced iron (DRI) enable the industry to reduce emissions or even approach net-zero CO 2 emissions for steel production.

Therefore, the natural gas (NG)-based direct reduction (DR) acts as a basis for the first step of this transition. The high flexibility of this route allows the gradual addition of hydrogen and, in a long-term …
1. Introduction. The world crude steel production has been sharply increasing in recent years, reaching 1.87 billion tons in 2019, up by 3.4% compared to 2018 (World Steel Association, 2020).The growth of crude steel is also accompanied by generation of huge pollutants, such as metallurgical dust, wastewater, and exhaust …
To achieve net-zero iron and steel production by 2050, many iron and steel producers are turning to direct reduced iron (DRI)—electric arc furnace (EAF) steel production as an opportunity to …
2022 World Direct Reduction Statistics Page 4 9.12.23 Direct Reduced Iron Production I ndia continued its streak as the number one DRI producer worldwide, producing a record 43.55 Mt of DRI – 35.39 Mt in rotary kilns and 8.16 Mt by gas-based processes – an 11.4% increase overall. According to the Sponge Iron Manufacturers
This paper derives from first principles simple relationships that can be used to compute energy requirements for the production of hot metal (pig iron) in a blast furnace (BF) or direct reduced iron (DRI) in a direct reduction furnace (DRF), and the transformation of hot metal and DRI into crude steel in a basic oxygen furnace (BOF) or …
1. Introduction. Industrial-scale hydrogen-ironmaking, also known as direct reduction of iron (DRI) using hydrogen, is a process that aims to produce iron without the use of fossil fuels (Chevrier, 2020; van Vuuren et al., 2022; Tang et al., 2020; Wang et al., 2021; Ledari et al., 2023).This process has the potential to significantly reduce carbon …
The blast furnace and direct reduction processes have been the major iron production routes for various iron ores (i.e. goethite, hematite, magnetite, maghemite, siderite, etc.) in the past few decades, but the challenges of maintaining the iron and steel-making processes are enormous. The challenges, such as cumbersome production routes, …
Consequently, there is a great increase in the demand for direct reduced iron in electric arc steel making. These attractive features have led to an increase in worldwide production of direct reduced iron, which is currently approaching 50 million tons. Thus, direct reduced iron is gaining more importance.
The effects of gas composition and the extent of reduction on the compressive strength of direct reduced iron (DRI) were investigated. Gas mixtures containing different proportions of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, water vapor, carbon dioxide and methane were tested. The structure of laboratory and industrial DRI was examined …
There are several processes for direct reduction of iron ore, principally gas-based shaft furnaces (Midrex and ENERGIRON processes), accounting for 76% and coal based rotary kiln furnaces (mainly in India) accounting for 24% of 2019 production (108.1 million tonnes). Direct Reduced Iron is produced either in pellet/lump form (DRI, designated as ...
Direct Reduction processes for iron ore employing natural gas or hydrogen are becoming more important. Correspondingly, properties of outgoing products are of …
The present work assesses the environmental impacts of biosyngas-based direct reduced iron production followed by electric arc furnace (DRI-EAF) routes for crude steel production. Further, the proposed routes are compared with the other steelmaking routes, including BF-BOF, natural gas (NG)-based and hydrogen-based direct reduction …
At present, fossil fuels are the steel sector's bloodstream: 27 EJ (10 18 J) of coal, 3 EJ of gas and 5 EJ (1400 TWh) of electricity are consumed annually for the production of the mostly widely ...
Worldwide production of Direct Reduced Iron has increased from less than one million tonnes per year in 1971 to over 70 million tonnes forty years later. DRI production is expected to continue this rapid increase for years to come.
World crude steel production for the 64 countries reporting to the World Steel Association (worldsteel) was ~1,885.7 Mt in 2022, approximately a 1.5% decrease compared to 2021.
