Technology and material efficiency scenarios for net zero emissions in the UK steel sector
in Journal of Cleaner Production
| Description | The results carried out in the techno-economic assessment to decarbonise steel industry have shown that existing technology will impact the economics resulting in a high price of carbon dioxide removal (> £ 50 per ton) which is currently higher than the existing carbon tax the use of new processes based on gas-solid reaction could reduce the economic impact by 20%, reducing the energy cost and investment costs. |
| Exploitation Route | Testing of new technologies combined with numerical modelling will provide the required confidence to expected results. Follow up projects targeting technology scale-up and a bigger involvement of industry will generate the required understanding and validate the expected outcomes. |
| Sectors | Chemicals,Energy |
| Description | The results of this project has generated interest among industrial company within UK and Europe. As an example, TotalEnergies, Johnson Matthey and Arcelor Mittal have engaged with us to develop further study for the decarbonisation of chemical and energy processes and steel industry. the research grants which are following this project includes the scale up of the technology to decarbonise also steel industry. |
