Program 1 - RP1.001
Overview
Direct reduction of iron ore, particularly with green hydrogen, is a key pathway to decarbonisation of the iron and steel industry. This project aimed to document countermeasures to any adverse ferrous materials behaviour during and after direct reduction, which is critical to de-risking these technologies for use with Australian iron ores. It commenced with a review of global ferrous feedstocks, documenting literature and industry experience with DRI sticking in shaft furnace and fluidised bed processes, and the transport and handling of reduced products.
