PNW CIVS, along with industrial, education, federal, and elected leaders, gathered on Oct. 11 to recognize a significant grant of nearly $10 million from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office (IEDO) to support the Development and Demonstration of an Industrial Hydrogen-fired Steel Reheating Furnace (H2RF). The event attendees participated in a combination of three activities: The Annual NWI One Region Luncheon, a Cleveland-Cliffs Indiana Harbor Plant tour, and a ceremony at CIVS Immersive Theater.

The keynote speaker for the annual One Region NWI Luncheon, President of Purdue University Mung Chiang, congratulated CIVS and its partners for the largest-ever federal research awarded to Purdue University Northwest, which will fund the Development and Demonstration of an Industrial Hydrogen-Fired Steel Reheating Furnace. “I am delighted to have had the opportunity to speak to more than 500 partners in northwest Indiana at the 10th anniversary of the One Region luncheon,” Chiang said.
