Direct Reduced Iron (DRI)

In this section you can read news on Direct Reduced Iron, DRI. DRI is a steel production process to produce steel using (green) hydrogen to reduce the iron instead of carbon intensive coking coal. Hydrogen is used as main reduction agent in the process of making sponge iron through the direct reduction of iron or in the furnace.
