Project description:
Steel is a critical material when transitioning to a more circular economy due to its inherent recyclability whilst maintaining its properties. However, the steel industry contributes 7-8% of the global anthropogenic CO2 emissions. The problem the steel industry faces is reducing emissions whilst increasing supply to meet additional demand. It is key that this paradox is solved within the UK to protect jobs and to prevent the CO2 emissions being “off-shored” which moves but does not solve the problem.
Carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) has been shown to be technically feasible via a series of studies whereby CO2 emitted is captured processed and utilised as a feedstock to produce another material, examples being primary alcohols and aviation fuels. This project will study the capture and processing of blast furnace gases into valorised products (e.g., hydrogen, methane) which can then be re-cycled into other processes; e.g., as reductants in Direct Reduced Iron (DRI).
This project will be based between the new Sintec (Simulation and integrity testing under extreme conditions) facility within the Steels and Metals Institute at **MEMBERS ONLY**SIGN UP NOW***. and Tata Steel Port Talbot. The project will also link with complimentary EPSRC (e.g. SUSTAIN) and doctoral projects also working to optimise future sustainable steel manufacturing.
