PERRY COUNTY, Miss. ( WHLT ) – The Department of Energy announced a green hydrogen direct reduced iron plan will be located in Perry County, Mississippi.

According to officials, the plant is being developed by a Swedish green steel leader, SSAB. This will be the first commercial-scale facility using HYBRIT technology, with green hydrogen from Hy Stor Energy. The DRI will send its green iron to SSAB’s existing electric arc furnace in Iowa to make green steel.

The development is expected to generate approximately 6,000 construction jobs and 540 permanent positions in Perry County and Montpelier, Iowa.
