CO<sub>2</sub> Abatement in the Steel Industry through Carbon Recycle and Electrification by Means of Advanced Polymer Membranes

The potential of advanced polymer or hybrid polymer membranes to reduce CO<sub>2</sub> emissions in steel production was evaluated. For this, a conceptual process design and assessment was performed for a process that is a combination of carbon recycling and electrification of the steel...

description The potential of advanced polymer or hybrid polymer membranes to reduce CO<sub>2</sub> emissions in steel production was evaluated.

The results indicate a CO<sub>2</sub> avoidance of 9%. CO<sub>2</sub> emissions were reduced by factor 1.78 when using renewable electricity according to the proposed scheme compared to feeding this renewable electricity to the electrical grid. The CO<sub>2</sub> abatement potential of the studied concept is highly dependent on the CO<sub>2</sub> conversion in the plasma torch.
