Application
Description This project investigates the use of renewable biomass such as crop residues and woodchips as an alternative to fossil fuels in iron and steel production to reduce CO2 emissions. The study explores various biomass applications, including bio-coke, bio-sinter, and bio-briquettes, for replacing traditional materials like coke and coal. It highlights the potential of biomass to lower CO2 emissions by up to 12% in steel production. The research emphasizes the need for innovative approaches to replace fossil carbon with renewable, neutral carbon sources in the short to medium term.
Pathway Description: The process involves blending biomass with coking coal to create bio-coke, pelletizing or briquetting biomass into bio-briquettes or bio-composites for sintering, and pyrolyzing biomass to produce biochar for use in the sintering process. Additionally, biomass is injected into the blast furnace to replace fossil fuels like coke, reducing CO2 emissions. This approach helps substitute fossil carbon with renewable biomass, improving environmental sustainability in steel production. The overall goal is to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and minimize the carbon footprint of iron and steel industries.
