Recommendation
We identified enthusiasm from many witnesses for the use of hydrogen direct reduced iron as a technology well-suited to decarbonising the UK steel industry. However, as with other potential solutions, it is a technology that remains untested at scale. A pilot of hydrogen-based steel production in the UK would help to inform future decisions on decarbonisation; create initial capability; develop UK-based expertise; and facilitate a switch to hydrogen once the technology is proven.
