Study Notes
Steel Decarbonization Initiatives
- SALCOS (Germany): Aims for climate-neutral steel through hydrogen. Transition from blast furnaces to direct reduction, initially with natural gas, then hydrogen. Launched in 2015.
Japanese Steel Production Initiatives (Course 50)
-
Focus: Green steel production through hydrogen reduction in blast furnaces and CO₂ capture.
-
Hydrogen Reduction: Hydrogen is used as a reducing agent in blast furnaces, expected to decrease CO₂ emissions by 30% compared to conventional methods.
European Green Steel Production (ULCOS Programme)
-
Participants: 48 European companies collaborating on green steel production.
-
Research focus: Investigating technologies like blast furnace with top-gas recycling (TGR-BF) and new smelting reduction processes(HIsarna) to reduce CO₂ emissions.
Tata Steel (Netherlands) Decarbonization Plan
-
Goal: Reduce CO₂ emissions by 35-40% by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2045.
-
Methods: Replace blast furnaces with direct reduced iron (DRI) plants and electric arc furnaces (EAF).
ArcelorMittal's Hydrogen Research Program
-
Scope: Global decarbonisation of steel production through hydrogen-based technologies.
-
Technologies: Hydrogen-based direct reduction (DRI) to replace fossil fuels with green hydrogen in existing steel plants.
-
Timeline: Implementation of these technologies at an industrial level by 2025.
