Cleveland-Cliffs completes Middletown Works blast furnace hydrogen infusion trial Cleveland-Cliffs completed its Middletown Works blast furnace hydrogen infusion trial. Hydrogen gas is the first carbon-friendly iron-reducing agent used in the blast furnace in the Americas. Hydrogen gas is a major step in decarbonizing blast furnaces, which are needed for the highest-quality steel applications, such as automotive. On 8 May, hydrogen gas was introduced into all 20 tuyeres at the Middletown #3 blast furnace to produce clean pig iron, the foundation of high-end steelmaking. Hydrogen partially replaced coke in iron reduction, replacing CO2 with H2O (water vapor) without affecting product quality…
