Re:Green steel without green hydrogen – can it work? by londons_explore on Tuesday February 15, 2022 @01:10PM (#30350333)
The higher temperature doesn't consume more energy theoretically as long as there is some way to use the heat of the produced iron and oxygen to help heat up the incoming iron oxide.

Not many heat exchangers can survive 1100 degrees C, but even a rudimentary 'fan blows air over the produced iron and then directs that through a ceramic pipe and through the incoming iron ore' heat recovery system should extract a large percentage of the thermal energy.
