The Department of Energy (DOE) awarded a $75,000,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Clean Energy Demonstrations (CFDA 81.255) federal grant program to Cleveland-Cliffs Steel Corporation. The project plans to construct four new induction reheat furnaces (IRFs) at the company's Lyndora, PA facility to produce high-silicon grain oriented electrical steel (GOES) used in electrical transformers. This will enable the electrification of the steel slab reheating process, idling two existing natural...
This EAGER (Early-Concept Grants for Exploratory Research) award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.041 - Engineering) provides $300,000 to New York University (NYU) to develop a novel plasma-electrochemical approach for decarbonizing steel manufacturing. The project aims to eliminate the need for carbon-based reducing agents and fuels in steel production, which currently accounts for 20% of industrial CO2 emissions. Key activities include: 1) Establishing design principles for a...
The Department of Energy (DOE) awarded a $500,000,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Clean Energy Demonstrations (CFDA 81.255) program to Cleveland-Cliffs Steel Corporation to retrofit their Middletown Works facility in Ohio. The project plans to replace the existing blast furnace with a 100% hydrogen-ready, flex-fuel direct reduced iron (DRI) and two electric melting furnaces (EMF). This demonstration project aims to significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) and criteria air pollutant (CAP)...
