HYDRA project Strategy
The overall objective of the project is to decarbonise the steel production process through the
acquisition of knowledge and technologies and to support the hydrogen infrastructure.
4 main lines are targeted in order to develop hydrogen use:
1. an integrated infrastructural system for the supply of green hydrogen (loop for testing)
2. an innovative hydrogen-fuelled direct reduction pilot plant (10000 ton/year)
3. a hydrogen electric furnace with very low or zero CO2 emissions (3, 4 industrial sites)
4. a hydrogen reheating furnace for subsequent rolling treatments (3, 4 industrial sites)
