World first as hydrogen used to power commercial steel
More than 95% of the worlds hydrogen is today derived from natural gas and coal, causing nine to 12 tonnes of CO 2 emissions for every tonne of H 2 produced. Although hydrogen is a clean gas, releasing only water vapour when burned, there is no point replacing the coke, coal or LNG used in steel production with H 2 unless that hydrogen is produced from renewable energy (green) or if the CO
