Curtailing Unhealthy Impacts of Steel Production: DOE Earthshot Program

Researchers are part of a multi-university team attempting to decarbonize manufacturing, and one of their first targets is steel production.

The research team will develop hydrogen-plasma-smelting-reduction technology to dramatically reduce carbon emissions during the steelmaking process.
