A hydrogen-based fine-ore reduction (HYFOR) pilot plant developed by Primetals Technologies was commissioned in Donawitz, Austria in April, 2021. The HYFOR technology could enable the use of iron ore fines in the direct reduction process, which could reduce the operatiing costs ( Primemetals, 2022 ).
A HYFOR pilot plant was recently started up at a site of Austrian steelmaker voestalpine. The MIDREX® process is the world's leading direct-reduction technology for iron ore, developed by MIDREX Technologies, Ltd. The process uses a shaft furnace to reduce iron ore to iron using a reforming gas made from natural gas.
