The US Department of Energy (DOE) has announced $10m will be funded towards a hydrogen direct reduction at a steel plant in Toledo, Ohio.

Led by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the project will offer an opportunity to reintegrate waste heat into hydrogen generation, which can then be reutilised to produce direct reduced iron.
