On February 25^th, 2025, the HBI C-Flex project hosted a successful mid-term workshop. This event brought together experts and stakeholders to discuss innovative topics ranging from the reoxidation behaviour and stability of direct reduced and hot briquetted iron to the use of green hydrogen and recycled metallurgical gases in steelmaking. Additionally, projects about maximising H₂ enrichment in direct reduction shaft furnaces and ensuring the safe handling of H₂-based DRI, considering reactivity, passivation methods, and recycling aspects were discussed.

The presentations generated interesting discussions and provided valuable insights into the potential applications and challenges of these developments. The knowledge exchange demonstrated the importance of collaboration in driving innovation forward.

We appreciate the participation of all attendees and look forward to continuing these discussions in the future.
