本論文は、水素直接還元と電気アーク炉を組み合わせた製鋼プロセスのエネルギー、エクセルギー、環境性能を評価。87%スクラップ・13%還元鉄の混合条件で、システム全体の資源効率は78.1%と従来の高炉法の2倍以上。温室効果ガス排出量は再生可能エネルギー利用時に94%以上削減可能としつつ、電解槽効率と再生可能電力の利用可能性が課題と指摘。
English
This paper evaluates a hydrogen-based direct reduction with electric arc furnace steelmaking route. Using a 87% scrap and 13% reduced iron mix, the system achieves an overall resource efficiency of 78.1%, over twice that of the conventional blast furnace route. Emissions are reduced by more than 94% with 100% renewable energy, but challenges remain in electrolyzer efficiency and renewable electricity availability.

📄 Abstract（原文）
The steel industry is one of the largest industrial emitters of carbon dioxide, and new production routes are required to meet climate targets. Hydrogen-based direct reduction combined with an electric arc furnace is widely discussed as a promising pathway to significantly reduce emissions. This study investigates this production pathway with a mix of 87% scrap and 13% reduced iron. The system requires 3.40 GJ/tSteel, with hydrogen production and scrap melting as the main energy consumers. Exergy results show efficiencies of 53.6% for the electrolyzer, 74.8% for the reduction furnace, and 87.2% for the arc furnace, leading to an overall resource efficiency of 78.1%, more than twice that of the conventional blast furnace–basic oxygen furnace route. Emissions are 128 kgCO2e/tSteel with the Portuguese grid mix and 70 kgCO2e/tSteel with 100% renewables, corresponding to >94% reduction compared to conventional production. The results confirm the potential of hydrogen-based steelmaking for low-carbon steel production, while highlighting electrolyzer efficiency and renewable electricity availability as the main challenges. Further improvements through heat integration and by-product valorization could support both efficiency and sustainability
