Coal is integral to steel production using the BF-BOF route, which accounts for 70% of global steel production
Hydrogen-based approaches need further development and availability of Hydrogen at scale.
Relatively recent vintage and dominance of BF-BOF based steel capacities in major steel producing geographies
Green steel requires uninterrupted availability of green energy – at scale, and at reasonable costs.
Our approach is to design a holistic solution that optimizes across the following parameters to maximize CO2 capture at very competitive costs, providing a margin of safety vis-à-vis the incentives available for decarbonization.
Dastur Energy prepared the preliminary engineering design and cost estimate for the production of low-carbon-emission steel by capturing almost 3 mtpa of CO2 at one of the largest BF-BOF-based steel plants in the United States.
Feedstock formulation enabled through blending and other preprocessing strategies allows low-cost, low-quality biomass to be blended with higher cost and higher quality to achieve the in-feed specifications at the conversion facility.
