Middletown Hydrogen-Based Steel Project
Sector: Hydrogen • Location: Middletown, Ohio, United States
Source: H2 View
A $500 million hydrogen-based steel decarbonisation project at the Middletown facility in Ohio, initially supported by a US Department of Energy grant, aimed to replace the coal-based blast furnace with a hydrogen-fuelled plant. The project was abandoned due to lack of support from the Trump Administration, high additional costs, and limited availability of clean hydrogen.
