The Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) awarded a $2,102,353 Cooperative Agreement to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, a Hispanic-Serving Institution, under the ROSIE (Revolutionizing Ore to Steel to Impact Emissions) program. The 3-year, $35 million ROSIE program is developing novel technologies to produce iron-based products from iron-containing ores and alternative feedstocks without process emissions in the ironmaking step. The goal is to achieve cost parity with traditional ironmaking while demonstrating a path to zero non-biogenic greenhouse gas emissions from the ironmaking process and ultra-low cradle-to-gate lifecycle emissions. If successful, these transformative ironmaking technologies could enable annual reductions of over 65 million tonnes of CO2 emissions in the U.S. and 2.9 gigatonnes globally.
