ZHYRON

ZHyRON project aims to pioneer a valorisation pathway for steel-making by-products rich in iron and zinc, with the goal of enhancing the sustainability and circularity of the steel industry. Although valorisation processes already exist in this field, they rely on high CO2 emissions, compelling the metallurgical industry to transition to hydrogen as part of its journey towards carbon neutrality. The project will thus explore solutions related to technical integration, economic viability, and environmental considerations. This will foster innovative business models and strategies for the extraction of still usable iron and zinc from metallurgical waste using hydrogen as reductant. Funded by the European Union.
