Minimizing CO<sub>2</sub> emissions with renewable energy: a comparative study of emerging technologies in the steel industry
Marian Flores-Granobles, Mark Saeys
Abstract
Implementing CCUS technologies at existing steel plants reduces CO<sub>2</sub> emissions by 70%, requiring 1.1 MW h per ton of renewable electricity. H<sub>2</sub>-based steel-making and CCU technologies require 4 and 8 times more electricity to reach similar reductions.
