BHP, the world's largest mining company, is investigating the use of rock-eating microbes to tackle emissions in steelmaking. Steel production heavily relies on coal-powered blast furnaces, but a greener alternative called "direct reduced iron" (DRI) can refine iron ore with natural gas or hydrogen, reducing emissions. However, BHP's iron ore contains impurities that require coal
