SUMMARY:Transforming steel emissions into a high value opportunity
DESCRIPTION:The Iron & Steel industry is in the decarbonisation era facing significant regulatory, political and technical challenges. Moreover, with aging Blast furnaces due for reline, steel mills are at critical decision-making moment to pick the most economic and sustainable solution. We believe that eliminating carbon emissions will be achieved through the integration of multiple technologies to deliver bespoke solutions suited to local conditions.  Amongst the options is an innovative carbon capture and use technology developed by LanzaTech. LanzaTech converts carbon-rich gases into sustainable fuels and chemicals by a process of gas fermentation, with biocatalyst that feed on gases. LanzaTech’s naturally-occurring biocatalyst has been optimized to provide economic routes to ethanol and other chemicals from a variety of carbon-rich gas streams, including industrial off-gases from steel and ferroalloy mills, agricultural or MSW waste, and even CO2 from Direct Air Capture (DAC). By capturing the carbon contained in these gas streams, LanzaTech’s gas fermentation process reduces industry carbon emissions whilst producing chemical building blocks like ethanol that can be used directly for cleaning products or fragrances or converted to sustainable aviation fuels or the key ingredients needed for a broad range of consumer products including detergents, packaging and textile fibers. Products made with LanzaTech’s process offer an improved environmental profile and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by over 70% when compared to equivalent products derived from fossil fuels. This is the circular economy in action.
LanzaTech technology has been successfully deployed in 3 commercial operating facilities at a steel and 2 ferro alloy mills, with 7 additional commercial plants in construction and several more in the engineering phase. The first European commercial scale plant, Steelanol, is soon due for commissioning at the ArcelorMittal Ghent combined with the Torero biomass project, with the objective of producing 80 million liters of bio-ethanol/year.
