Iron-Air Battery,Decarbonization,Steel Production

An innovative iron-air battery designed for long-term energy storage also has the potential to clean up steel production.

While the global clean energy transition is well underway, there are still some unsolved technical hurdles standing between our current energy industry and our ability to meet global climate goals by mid-century. Most of the more obvious and accessible items on the decarbonization to-do list – pushing electric vehicle adoption, installing solar and wind farms, and making our homes and appliances more energy efficient, for example – are already being tackled at a wide scale around the globe.

Generally, the process for purifying the iron oxide and iron hydroxide that are extracted from the Earth requires large amounts of high-emissions coking coal. As a result, steel production is the single largest-emitting manufacturing sector on the planet, solely responsible for at least 7% of all man-made greenhouse gas emissions. There are already some existing options for cleaning up the steelmaking industry, but none have been a silver-bullet solution.
