Green iron start-up GravitHy plans to draw primarily on nuclear power to produce hydrogen for its planned complex in Fos-sur-Mer, France, which will provide direct-reduced iron (DRI) for use in the production of green steel.
A spokesperson for the company told Hydrogen Insight that 70% of H2 produced and used to make DRI at the site will be nuclear-powered electrolysis, with just 10% from renewable electricity. The remaining 20% will be sourced from the market.
“This is what we mentioned during public consultation, and it remains our preferred work scenario,” the spokesperson added.
