Green Steel: How Hydrogen and Electric Ironmaking Drive Innovation

7 May 20257 May 2025 Vijay Raman

Author: Chingis Idrissov, Senior Technology Analyst at IDTechEx The steel industry's journey toward carbon neutrality has gained momentum, with hydrogen-based and electric ironmaking technologies advancing more rapidly in recent years than before. These innovations create a pathway to truly sustainable “green steel” production. Major steelmakers, mining conglomerates, and metallurgical technology providers are actively developing proprietary technologies and strategically investing in emerging steel companies. Their focus has particularly sharpened on novel hydrogen and electric ironmaking processes. This represents a deliberate diversification strategy that extends beyond conventional electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking, addressing…

Charcoal Records Trace Prehistoric Wildfires in Permian India

7 May 20257 May 2025 Vijay Raman

he Permian Period, a pivotal chapter in Earth’s history, witnessed significant environmental shifts, including widespread wildfires that left indelible marks on the geological record. Within the Gondwanan fragments that comprise modern India, the charcoal record, indicative of past fire regimes, provides a compelling, albeit fragmented, narrative. Unraveling these “fire chronicles” is crucial for understanding the interplay between paleoclimate, vegetation dynamics, and the ultimately devastating end-Permian extinction. Evidence from Permian sediments in India, particularly within the Damuda Group, showcases varying frequencies of charcoal and inertinite, reflecting diverse fire regimes. Analyses of…
