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 engineering of the CO/CO2 separation and the gas handling system has been finalised and the procurement of the installation launched. There has been a close cooperation between the partners to define the specifications for the pilots.The DOW pilot has been constructed and delivered at the AM Gent plant, and also been connected the plant gas management system. Cold commissioning was completed succesfully. The DOW pilot is ready to be started up (planned for February 2019). The GMS/PSA has been fully designed and ordered.
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.
