An ideal hydrogen-natural gas combination was developed by the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), which is able to capture hydrogen into cage-like molecules that enhance storage efficiency. Pure hydrogen is held at extremely high pressure (>100 atmospheres) or low temperatures (−20°C), which is naturally a large economic hurdle to the storage of hydrogen, as opposed to hydrocarbons. Gwangju theorized that hydrogen trapping within ice-like crystals would make storage and transport of zero-emission fuel less demanding. These molecular cages exist in the natural environment and are known as “clathrate hydrates,” which are solid structures based on water, with cavities capable…

Salzgitter AG is now taking another significant step toward producing low-CO2 steel. This  marks the start of development on μDRAL, a demonstration plant for the manufacture of direct reduced iron, as part of the SALCOS – SAlzgitter Low-CO 2Steelmaking initiative (DRI). This is the world’s first iron ore direct reduction facility that can run on natural gas or hydrogen. In the first half of 2022, production will begin. The direct reduced iron will be utilized in the blast furnace and the electric arc furnace at the Peine plant to reduce the amount of pulverized injection coal. The plant has a…
