| Abstract Scope |
The metal industry alone contributes about 8% CO2 emission globally. For a sustainable and carbon neutral metal industry, use of H2 and biocarbon for substitution of fossil carbon is essential. SWERIM has in the recent years made great efforts to support the metal industry for a smoothly C-neutral transition. This paper will highlight the projects using biocarbon and H2 different metallurgical processes including installation of a H2-electrolyser which could be connected to various pilot test facilities in Swerim including an EAF, a DC furnace and a Universal Converter of 6-10 tons in scale. The Swerim H2-electrolyser has a capacity to produce 100 Nm3 of H2/h. Our unique gas processing equipment for separation of CO2, production of H2 in combination with our demo facilities enable us to develop high TRL demonstration of different CCUS opportunities for steel and metal industry. Using H2 in metallurgical applications will also be discussed |
