How Steel Plants Are Becoming Chemical Factories
Steel production is one of the world’s largest sources of carbon emissions, but a new approach in Sweden is turning blast furnaces into chemical plants. We look at how SSAB and its partners are using green hydrogen to produce direct reduced iron, creating a byproduct stream rich in water and heat that can be captured for industrial use. This episode breaks down the specific engineering challenge of shifting from a metallurgical process to a chemical one, why it matters for decarbonizing heavy industry, and what it means for the cost of green steel compared to traditional methods.
