‘EU steel industry will need more subsidised green H2 than European Hydrogen Bank can provide’: trade body

The European steel industry needs five million tonnes of green hydrogen a year to fully decarbonise and the European Hydrogen Bank (EHB) funding mechanism is not furnished with enough cash to achieve this, Europe’s steel production trade association has told Hydrogen Insight. Steel producers need green hydrogen to cleanly extract iron from ore through the direct-iron reduction (DRI) process, in place...
