Description

As the agency reported it.

Successful system integration should result in significant energy intensity savings of ~0.4MWH/ton-DRI or ~36% relative through heat integration compared to an non-integrated system. Thus, the project focuses on the removal of carbon from the system at high temperatures in a cyclone to deliver H2 at >1000¿ to a shaft furnace, the recovery of heat from the shaft furnace, and the recycling of unreacted H2. Successfully removing carbon from the system as a solid should enable significant carbon dioxide emissions reductions of up to 85% for the production of steel in an electric ARC furnace (EAF).
