Mission & Goals
GravitHy ambitionne de décarboner le secteur de la sidérurgie, en produisant du fer réduit (HBI) à partir d'hydrogène bas carbone produit par électrolyse de l'eau, en substitution au charbon traditionnellement utilisé. Le fer réduit est ensuite revendu à des sidérurgistes pour leur permettre de produire un acier de haute qualité à très basses émissions. Une première usine, d'une capacité annuelle de 2Mt de HBI ouvrira à Fos-sur-Mer, dans le Sud de la France en 2030.
