Currently, about 75% of Brazil’s steel production relies on coal-based processes, presenting challenges for decarbonization.However, Brazil’s abundant renewable energy resources, including its substantial hydropower, wind, and solar capacities, offer a pathway to producing green hydrogen, which is crucial for the low-emissions direct reduced iron (DRI) process. This shift could enable Brazil to develop a green iron export industry while also reducing domestic steel sector emissions.
