This library compiles relevant work by the experts listed on the Task 52 Experts page. Unless a record is explicitly labelled as an official output, inclusion does not mean that it was produced or endorsed by the IEA, the IEA Hydrogen TCP, Task 52, or every participating institution. Official Task 52 outputs are kept separate.

The list of experts was fixed on and the search ran up to . Where an expert has no record here, no published work of theirs has yet cleared the evidence threshold. It does not imply that they have no relevant expertise or work.

    Dual-Operation for NG/H2 Switching Flexibility of ENERGIRON DRI Technology

    Marco Lapasin; Mohab Mahmoud; Dario Pauluzzi

    AISTech 2026 — Proceedings of the Iron & Steel Technology Conference · AIST

    The paper's explicit subject is dual-fuel operation of the ENERGIRON direct reduction process and the technical flexibility to switch between natural gas and hydrogen as reducing gases for direct reduced iron production. Hydrogen's role as an alternative DRI reductant and the associated process/switching engineering are the paper's core content, not incidental mentions.

    Demand and Supply Measures for the Steel and Cement Transition: The case for international co-ordination

    Andrew Ruttinger; Tiffany Vass; Isabel Geppert

    International Energy Agency (IEA) · IEA

    Analyses demand- and supply-side policy measures to scale up markets for near-zero emissions steel and cement, identifying low-emissions hydrogen availability and infrastructure (alongside CCS and electrification) as a central cost driver and enabling requirement for near-zero and hydrogen-ready direct reduced iron production, and proposing international co-ordination options under the Climate Club. Andrew Ruttinger is named first among the three principal IEA authors.

    International Energy Agency (IEA), in collaboration with the Climate High-Level Champions · IEA

    Includes a dedicated deep-dive chapter, 'International Offtake Agreements for Near-Zero Emissions Iron', that identifies hydrogen direct reduced iron followed by electric arc furnace (H2-DRI-EAF) as the most technologically advanced near-zero emissions steelmaking route, quantifies its cost premium over BF-BOF production and the barriers created by limited access to low-emissions hydrogen, and assesses how decoupling iron and steel production could enable international trade of near-zero iron. Andrew Ruttinger is named among the ten principal IEA authors of the report's analysis.

    Development and testing of flameless burner fed by NG/H2 mix

    Develops and tests a 2.0 MW industrial flameless burner on a 30% hydrogen/70% methane blend, using CFD and experimental trials to confirm stable, low-NOx combustion, and explicitly concludes that flameless combustion is one of the most suitable techniques for introducing hydrogen fuel into the iron and steel industry; the steel-industry application is the stated target but the experimental object is the burner rather than a steel product.
