Hydrogen Plasma Smelting Reduction - an Option for Steelmaking in the Future

H. Hiebler
J. F. Plaul

Abstract

The steel industry is a mayor source of global CO2-emission. Lager reductions of greenhouse gases are the challenge to develop new processes, like Hydrogen Plasma Smelting Reduction (HPSR). The scientific basis and results of HPSR laboratory experiments led to the development of a concept for an HPSR-plant on industrial scale. A technology assessment shows the potential for a cheaper and most environmental friendly steelmaking in the future, when extensive development work has been done.
