Italy-based Tenova, a Techint Group company specialized in innovative solutions for the metals and mining industries,
has announced it has signed a contract with Chinese steelmaker Hebei Iron and Steel Group (HBIS) for the
implementation of the Paradigm Project, a High Tech Hydrogen Energy Development and Utilization Plant. The project
includes an Energiron DRI (direct reduced iron) plant with a capacity of six million mt per year.

Feedback
The plant, which will be the world’s first DRI production plant in China powered by hydrogen-enriched gas, will
use make-up gas with approximately a 70 percent hydrogen concentration. The carbon dioxide will be selectively
recovered and part of it will be reutilized in downstream processes, with a final net emission of just about 125,000 mt
of carbon. The plant is scheduled to begin production by the end of 2021.
The Energiron technology, jointly developed by Tenova and Danieli, is a high-intensity hydrogen direct reduction
system and is designed for extremely low carbon emissions while processing steel, as SteelOrbis understands.
