Cleveland-Cliffs Steel Corporation has been selected for awards negotiations for up to $500 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Energy for the Hydrogen-Ready Direct Reduced Iron Plant and Electric Melting Furnace Installation project for iron and steel. This project includes plans to install a hydrogen-ready flex-fuel Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) plant and two electric melting furnaces at Cleveland-Cliffs’ Middletown Works mill in Ohio. The project would lead to an estimated 1 million tons of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions per year. In addition, this project aims to demonstrate key hydrogen-based ironmaking technology while simultaneously leading to the replacement of one of Cleveland-Cliffs’ seven operating blast furnaces.
