Steel’s Declining Demand Sharpens Focus On Molten Oxide Electrolysis
In my recent reassessment of global steel demand trajectories, particularly in light of declining cement consumption driven by a slowing Chinese construction sector, I’m revisiting several zero-carbon steel production pathways. One that stands out for its unique electrochemical elegance and considerable engineering complexity is molten oxide electrolysis (MOE). It’s an … [continued]
