SUMMARY:Numerical modelling of a new low carbon and high H2 furnace for ironmaking
DESCRIPTION:The steel industry, especially traditional ironmaking is among the largest contributors of greenhouse gas emissions, attributable to approximately 7% of total emissions, because the Blast Furnace (BF) process was initially designed for the utilization of carbon-containing fossil fuels. 
Considering economic reality and CO2 emission targets, Paul Wurth has reassessed the blast furnace route and ended up with a solution named EASyMelt™, Electrically Assisted Syngas sMelter. In this contribution, an in-house numerical model (BFinner model) is utilized to investigate the EASyMelt™ concept for a blast furnace. First, the validation of the BFinner model with operation data of processes with medium to high levels of H2 load will be deliberated. Then, the model gives an insight into the feasibility of the EASyMelt™ with high H2 load and a minimum possible coke rate resulting in a significant coke saving.
