ABSTRACT Steel is the fundamental pillar of contemporary society, given its significant greenhouse gas emissions, rapid transformation is required for deep decarbonization of the iron and steel industry. This paper proposes a strategy to generate green steel through the H2-DRI-EAF (Hydrogen direct reduced iron processed in an electric arc furnace) process, leveraging biomass as the primary feedstock. The proposed configuration contains a biomass gasifier to generate hydrogen, which is further used in a shaft furnace to reduce iron ore and is fed to an electric arc furnace to produce Green Steel. India serves as the focal point for this study, with agricultural residue from the four most abundant crops selected as the primary feedstock. With these chosen feedstocks, the system demonstrates the capacity to produce approximately 0.1 kg of hydrogen per kg of biomass. Operating with an overall energy efficiency of 29.2% and exergy efficiency of 41.4%, the plant exhibits a crucial characteristic: the ability to seamlessly integrate different feedstocks without significantly affecting its overall performance. The aim of the current study is to promote bioenergy as a viable pathway for the decarbonization of steelmaking processes.
