Water is collected

Reactor

Green

5

Storage

1 Iron ore

pellets fed

into reactor

3 Hydrogen absorbs

oxygen in iron, turning

into water vapour

5 Purified iron

ore is pressed

into hot

briquetted

iron (HBI)

4 Electrolysers remove

oxygen from water,

leaving behind hydrogen

2 Hydrogen

pumped
