HILT.RP1.005 - Hydrogen Ironmaking: fluidised bed HDRI with Australian focus

Hydrogen ironmaking is of key strategic interest to Australia, as the leading global exporter of iron ore. However, many Australian ores are not of high quality, and there are questions about their ability to be used in cost-effective hydrogen ironmaking processes. This HILTCRC quick-start project aims to achieve an understanding of the end-to-end techno-economics of hydrogen direct reduced ironmaking in the Australian context, with an emphasis on understanding the impacts of Australian ore grades on the overall process design.
