Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0002536
The Request for Information (RFI) titled "Steel Made via Emissions-Less Technologies" (SMELT) seeks input to guide future research programs by ARPA-E aimed at developing innovative methods for producing iron from iron ores. The goal is to pave the way for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in global steelmaking, which currently contributes significantly to energy use and greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.
Steel production generates around 1,700 million tonnes annually, with primary production from ores responsible for two-thirds of this total. Current production methods, like the blast furnace and natural gas direct reduction, have considerable carbon emissions. With global steel demand expected to nearly double by 2050, finding low-emission alternatives is crucial to combat climate change.
The RFI highlights the need for zero-emissions ironmaking technologies, as existing methods are not scalable. It discusses retrofitting carbon capture systems and the potential for hydrogen-based production methods as medium- and long-term strategies. However, these approaches currently have cost challenges that need addressing.
This RFI is meant for gathering information, not for funding applications, and participants can find more details at the ARPA-E website.Apply for DE FOA 0002536
