In India, Solar Quarter reported that ArcelorMittal South Africa (AMSA) is exploring the production of green hydrogen directly reduced iron (gHDRI) at its dormant Saldanha Steel Works in the Western Cape.
A memorandum of understanding has been signed with an undisclosed “developer of transformational energy solutions” for this purpose. The investigation will focus on using green hydrogen in the Saldanha Works’ Midrex process to produce gHDRI, which could be exported or used domestically, according to the report.
The Saldanha Works could become a significant consumer of green hydrogen, consuming up to 104,000 tons per year in gHDRI production, the report added.
