The Natural Resources Research Institute (NRRI) at the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) received nearly $1.5M in funding from the U.S. Department of Energy to help develop transformative technologies in the iron and steel industries.
The funding is managed by DOE’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) under the Revolutionizing Ore to Steel to Impact Emissions (ROSIE) program. NRRI is funded for two projects that will evaluate Minnesota iron ore and underutilized iron resources for higher value iron products. NRRI will also evaluate the final ore products for use in electric arc furnace steel production.
