The most mature pathway for low carbon primary steel production beyond 2030 is currently H2-DRI-EAF. This paper gives an overview of the process and breaks it down into its constituent parts. It also explains why China is positioned to maintain its preeminence in primary steel production given its resource, technology and financial strength.In order, we will explore the overall process and then look at green hydrogen (H2), the direct reduction of iron (DRI) and electric arc furnaces (EAFs).

As early as 2022, the Chinese government set a clear target: to raise the share of electric arc furnace (EAF) steel to 15% of total crude steel production by 2025. The aim was to shift the industry away from its reliance on the carbon-intensive blast furnace–basic oxygen furnace (BF–BOF) route and toward lower-emission, scrap-based EAF steelmaking. Yet, three and a half years later, progress has stalled. EAF production continues to hover around 10%, with utilisation rates and profitabilit...| Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA)
