Concept paper due Aug. 8, 2023

The Revolutionizing Ore to Steel to Impact Emissions (ROSIE) program supports goals to reduce emissions as well as reduce imports of iron and steel products. The transformative technologies funded through this program would be the first to meet both emissions and cost parity goals.

The program will have two categories:

Category A includes processes from ore to ironmaking.

Category B must include ironmaking but can extend to downstream steel production.

If successful, novel ironmaking technologies meeting the metrics set forth by the program will enable a reduction of U.S. emissions by over 65 million tonnes (Mt) carbon dioxide emitted (CO2e) annually (~1% of U.S. emissions) and global emissions by over 2.9 gigatonnes (Gt) annually (5.5 % of global emissions).
