The United States Department of Energy (DOE) is set to make a significant investment in the development of clean energy initiatives.
This move is part of a broader $10 million plan aimed at fostering innovative approaches to sustainable practices in industrial processes. One of the primary focuses of this initiative is investing in hydrogen technology to advance the production of “green iron.”
Traditional iron production is a highly energy-intensive process that significantly contributes to carbon emissions. The DOE’s investment aims to transform this process by utilizing hydrogen, a clean and abundant energy source.
This strategy focuses on reducing the carbon footprint associated with iron production, making it more environmentally friendly.
