Green H2 and circular bio-coal from biowaste for cost-competitive sustainable Steel

Project description

Biocoal can make steel mills greener

Steel mills and metallurgical plants pose a significant challenge to reaching net-zero carbon emissions. The EU-funded H2STEEL project hopes to offer a solution by converting biowaste and biomethane into green hydrogen, carbon, and critical raw materials through a new type of catalysed pyrolysis. Using a newly designed reactor employing a novel catalyst, biomethane can be converted to green hydrogen in a low-cost way. Derived materials can then be used in steelmaking processes. This innovative solution avoids the release of CO2 and results in a net reduction of greenhouse gases.
