Metso Outotec invests in pilot plant for a hydrogen-based direct reduction process
Metso Outotec will convert its existing 700 mm Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) pilot plant in Frankfurt, Germany, for hydrogen-based direct reduction of fine ore, applying the proven Planet Positive CircoredTM technology.
The pilot plant can also be used for the reduction of high-grade iron fines concentrate and to confirm the design basis for an industrial-scale CircoredTM plant. Commissioning of the plant is expected to take place by December 2023.
