Initially, the plant will operate on natural gas, but it will be equipped to transition seamlessly to green hydrogen as the necessary supply infrastructure develops. Once operational, this facility is anticipated to be among the most advanced hydrogen-enabled steel plants in the world, marking a significant step toward decarbonizing the steel sector.
