Steel that is produced from scrap via an induction furnace that is powered by photovoltaic or wind power. Eventually, this will include hydrogen-reduced steel from rock using Solar Hydrogen.

Cases

  • 1000 acres with 10% energy gen at 50% coverage = 200kw/acre = 20MW/100 acres = 20 tons/hr, scale of smallest minimal = 50k tons per year.
  • 5% area at full solar daytime means 50 acres for the scale of a minimill.
