Sweden's been stealthily using hydrogen to forge green steel. Now it's ready to industrialise
Briefly

"Using hydrogen to produce steel is still in its very early stages, representing only a tiny fraction of today's steel production." - An SSAB representative.
"HYBRIT technology doesn't use a blast furnace at all. It uses hydrogen instead of coke in a process called direct reduction, producing sponge iron with only water vapor as a byproduct."
"The results of their six-year trial show that the iron produced using hydrogen isn't just carbon neutral, but is also stronger and more durable than iron produced with fossil fuels."
"The facility built in the small town of Luleå aims to prove steel can be made on an industrial scale using hydrogen and clean electricity."
