Six Years of Research Paves the Way for Fossil-Free Iron and Steel Production on an Industrial Scale
The HYBRIT initiative now presents the results of six years of research in a final report to the Swedish Energy Agency. The report shows that direct reduced iron produced with the HYBRIT process has advantageous properties compared to iron produced with fossil fuels. HYBRIT has applied for and received several patents based on the successful results, and the project now continues to the next phase where the process will be implemented on an industrial scale.
