Re:Green steel without green hydrogen – can it work?

Steel plants sometimes have deals to operate at certain times for load shedding anyway, but how about they use the times when we have an excess of solar/wind and its not well suited to steel production (maybe due to shift patterns) to generate onsite Hydrogen using that excess power? Then they have readily available onsite green hydrogen.
I think things like this will become an absolute necessity soon, using green power at its peaks to store resources for use later. (Obviously batteries will also be essential, although I would rather see gravity storage with big reservoirs like they have in Wales)
