Direct reduction of alloy metals
DRAM
Sweden has a large industry producing metals, especially stainless steel. These processes typically emit large volumes of greenhouse gases and consume vast amounts of energy. This project aims to build on previous work to see if alloys of a target composition can be produced directly from mixtures of oxide powders using hydrogen. By doing this, a large proportion of greenhouse gas emissions form the metals industry can be eliminated, up to millions of tons per year. Sweden could then compete internationally while meeting its target for a carbon neutral society by 2045 and do so sustainably.
