BHP will extend its partnership with the Centre for Ironmaking Materials Research (CIMR) at the University of Newcastle with a further A$10 million in funding to support ongoing research into decarbonising steelmaking.
The expanded research program will focus on low carbon iron and steelmaking using BHP’s iron ore and metallurgical coal, including conventional blast furnace ironmaking with the addition of hydrogen, and emerging alternative low carbon ironmaking technologies.
The collaboration, with funding from BHP’s US$400 million Climate Investment Program, will last five years and help train the next generation of PhD researchers and engineers.
The program was launched followed by a networking event on 7 Feb. 2022 at the Newcastle Institute for Energy and Resources (NIER).
