    À propos

    Common challenge

    In this joint initiative, AM will lead a consortium formed by Belgian, British, French and Dutch partners to prove a potential reduction of CO2 emissions (30-45%) across the major energy intensive steel sector by demonstrating an innovative technology to separate CO2 streams and valorise CO and potentially CO2 in the future. Two valorisation routes will be studied during the project, i.e. ethanol as a drop-in transportation fuel and synthetic naphtha as a drop-in chemical building block. Collaborations with other programmes and job growth will be fostered throughout the programme area.

    Main Achievements

    The Carbon2Value project has made significant process on the design and development of the pilot line to treat steel waste gases in view of valorizing CO.

    • The DOW separation pilot has been started up. After the startup tests have been performed on the pilot to check the CO2 removal efficiency comparted to the model prediction. The initial tests were very promising and the performance in agreement with the expectations. Works have been performed to connect the GTS to the Lanzatech separation pilot. Test have been performed with the DOW pilot and Lanzatech GTS connected. Results have been very promising with the targetted CO/CO2 separation reached and CO-conversion by fermentation has been succesfully demonstrated. The DOW pilot testing has therefore been succesfully concluded with expected positive results.
    • The GMS/PSA has been fully designed and ordered, integrated in the Steelanol plant. The construction of the Steelanol plant is now ongoing. Ground works have completed and steel construction 90% done.

    A dissemination strategy was developed and partially implemented to create awareness of the potential of the technology with different stakeholders. A identification set for Carbon2Value is supporting these dissemination activities. Two official events have been organised with stakeholders, press and policymakers present.

    • The Carbon2Value pilot was officially launched on the 18th March 2019. ArcelorMittal and Dow Benelux are starting trials with a new pilot installation at the company premises of ArcelorMittal Gent, that separates carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) from gases produced during the steelmaking process. The event was held in the presence of Philippe Muyters, Flemish Minister of Innovation, Anton van Beek, President and Chairman of the Board van Dow Chemicals Benelux, Manfred Van Vlierberghe, CEO ArcelorMittal Belgium and various local stakeholders and press.
    • The construction of the GMS/PSA has been completed. Engineering and manuals have been completed and included as results of the project.
    • The techno-economic study has progressed significantly; the Carbon2Value project has been included in an extensive study by the CCU Hub in the port of Ghent.
    • At the University of Lille there were first successfully conducted experiments and produced results on performance parameters to capture CO2 from flue gas analog using Hydrate-Based Separation Process, which have resulted in multiple scientific papers.
