Transforming steelmaking with our proprietary platform technology XERS which runs on natural gas and/or hydrogen, and electricity. XERS enables steel production from all grades of iron ore and waste oxides, in any format (fines, lumps), not just the expensive and scarce DRI-grade pellets.
Hertha Metals can produce steel from any grade of iron ore, utilizing domestic resources. While volumes of available clean hydrogen are low and price is high, Hertha Metals can make steel using abundant natural gas while still reducing emissions. As clean hydrogen comes online in necessary volumes, Hertha Metals can produce even greener steel without changing the Hertha furnace. This minimizes risk of stranded assets in the steel industry as the world’s needs continues to evolve.
