Deliverables

Opportunities to integrate INITIATE with other industrial symbiotic systems

The report covers the evaluation of a broader symbiotic system, where the integration of alternative H2 and CO2 conversion routes and local communities is assessed on energy and environmental KPI’s (GHG, raw material efficiency and primary energy consumption). Different uses of BFG and BOFG next to urea production are assessed, including the generation of fuels for energy storage so to integrate with the local electricity grid and industrial infrastructures. Use of H2 from other variable sources is also reported. The capability of the INITIATE symbiotic system to fulfill both energy storage and Urea demand flexibly is reported, as well as time dependent forecast of renewable power production and demand, historical steel plant data and relevant dynamic simulation results.Amendment: This deliverable is delayed by 2 months due to a late start.

Communication and Dissemination Plan

The communication and dissemination plan set the framework for the intended communication and dissemination activities to be undertaken by the whole consortium It includes the following sections Overview of the communication and dissemination needs Identification of the content to be communicated and disseminated Identification specification and analysis of the respective target audiences eg industrial stakeholders from sectors directly steel ammonia and indirectly further energy intensive industries concerned local national and EU policy makers RD community Shaping of the specific message depending on the audience Selection of the proper means to address the message webpage workshops meetings learning resources scientific conferences articles etc and overview of foreseen activities Governance and rules of the communication and dissemination strategy both internally and externally and responsibilities of the partners o Open access principles combination of gold and green will be followed for all scientific publications Any pertinent data that is not IPprotected will be deposited as FAIR data in open access repositories o The communication and dissemination manager will contact the partners at a monthly basis and collect all necessary developments Target indicators as well as monitoring and updating procedures

1st Periodic Report to EU

Based on the 1st progress report to the EU, a public summary covering the project activites in the 1st period will be made available for dissemination purposes.

Definition of the base and reference case for KPI's assessment

In order to assess INITIATE KPIs eg economic energy consumption and CO2 avoidance fairly and in a useful way it is necessary to define reference and base cases As reported in task 53 the base case will adopt stateoftheart commercially available integrated steel plant for hot rolled coil production and urea production from natural gas The reference case will consist of CO2 capture technologies applied to both integrated steel and urea plant so to identify competing technologies among processes for CO2 mitigation In this deliverable the KPIs of the assessment will be clearly stated and quantified for both the reference and base technologies

Updated Communication and Dissemination Plan

Midterm the project, the communication and dissemination plan is updated to optimal serve the renewed needs and interests for all parties in the consortium. Additionally, an evaluation of the realised communication and dissemination activities thus far is included.

Inventory of successful symbiotic relationships

This deliverable contains an inventory of alternatives for the symbiotic management of residual steel gases. Alternatives are classified according to specific metrics.These alternatives will include at least the use of the INTIATE gas conditioning for: (i) decarbonising power production (STEPWISE project) and (ii) producing Methanol (FReSMe), which have been previously studied or are currently under research. The INITIATE system (at 1500 t(Urea)/d) and the INITIATE broader symbiotic options from WP4 (respectively Tasks 4.3 and 4.4) are also included.The search and classification methodologies will be aligned with approaches of similar SPIRE projects (e.g. SCALER) to capitalise on existing knowledge.

INITIATE Website and visual identity

This report presents an overview of the development of the projects website and visual identity such as logos templates for reports and presentations intended to aid the visibility of the consortium to the different stakeholders
