The iron and steel industry contributes approximately 25% of global industrial CO2 emissions, necessitating substantial decarbonisation efforts. Hydrogen-based iron and steel plants (HISPs), which utilise hydrogen-based direct reduction of iron ore followed by electric arc furnace steelmaking, have...
