Description

Advancing Australian Green Steel through Redox Transformations. The project aims to adopt a microstructure-focused approach in exploring the transformation kinetics of hydrogen-based iron oxide reduction and the subsequent corrosion of the reduced iron. These coupled redox phase transformations are central to the efficient production of green steel and its continental transport, tackling the challenges in advancing Australia's leadership in integrating green steel and green hydrogen technology. This work will offer a timely technology guideline tailored for the Australian green steel industry, based on the new knowledge platform for these redox transformations. The effort aims to enhance R&D autonomy in Australia, optimising green steel technologies to support the national goal for net-zero emissions.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award.
