Minimizing CO2 emissions with renewable energy: a comparative study of emerging technologies in the steel industry

Energy Environ. Sci., 2020, 13,1923-1932
DOI: 10.1039/D0EE00787K, Analysis
Marian Flores-Granobles, Mark Saeys
Implementing CCUS technologies at existing steel plants reduces CO2 emissions by 70%, requiring 1.1 MW h per ton of renewable electricity. H2-based steel-making and CCU technologies require 4 and 8 times more electricity to reach similar reductions.
